Lost Orca: The Legend of Luna Documentary Screening and Q&A

Ocean Week Victoria


June 4th 7:15 PM - 8:30 PM
Victoria, British Columbia

For Ocean Week Victoria, IMAX Victoria is hosting a special documentary screening of Lost Orca: The Legend of Luna. In 2001, a baby orca lost contact with his family in a fjord on the coast of Vancouver Island. Orcas are highly social beings, and he started trying to make friends with people. What happened then is the stuff of legend.

Directors Suzanne Chisholm and Michael Parfit made a film about the little whale in 2007 called “Saving Luna.” Then they teamed up with Ryan Reynolds, who narrated their second film in 2011, “The Whale.” Now new technology to improve the quality of historical footage and high-resolution cameras have helped them make a new film, this time for the grandest theatrical screens in the world.

The new film, Lost Orca: The Legend of Luna, premiered in February 2025 at the IMAX Victoria Film Festival and is now being distributed to giant screens everywhere.

Join us for a special Q&A session with filmmaker Michael Parfit after the film!
