- History / Biographical
- "Housekeeping," 1987, directed by Bill Forsyth and starring Christine Lahti, Sara Walker, and Andrea Burchill. Set in the Pacific Northwest. After their mother commits suicide, two sisters go to live with their eccentric aunt in a remote mountain town Location filming primarily in Nelson, BC, but skating scenes were filmed on Spray Lakes Reservoir in Kananaskis. Trivia: Director Bill Forsyth original wanted to find a large frozen lake in the Yukon to film the skating scene that closes the movie. Bruno Engler, as the on-scene photographer in Nelson, suggested the much more accessible Spray Lakes near Canmore. The movie, which is set in the 1950s, was originally going to be filmed in the same location as the book its based on, Sandpoint Idaho. However, the town of Sandpoint had changed too much by 1986 to suit the film's needs and instead the town of Nelson, British Columbia was chosen.
