NEW FILM ON LIFE OF LAWREN HARRIS SET TO DEBUT ON TVO

With his paintings shattering records at auctions, and an upcoming exhibit of his work at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Lawren Harris is having a career renaissance more than four decades after his death. Focus on the life and work of the legendary Group of Seven leader shifts to the screen with Where the Universe Sings: The Spiritual Journey of Lawren Harris, premiering Saturday at 9 p.m. on Ontario public service broadcaster TVO. The film will be available to stream at tvo.org beginning on Sunday. Emmy-winning filmmaker Peter Raymont (Shake Hands with the Devil) and first-time director Nancy Lang provide an hour-long portrait of the artist. Actor-comedian Steve Martin, who is curating the upcoming AGO exhibit, is among the leading Harris experts interviewed for the film.
