The High Level Bridge is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Trevor Anderson and released in 2010.[1] The film centres on the High Level Bridge in Edmonton, Alberta, blending historical facts about the bridge with a memorial tribute to residents of the city who had committed suicide by jumping off of it.[2]
The film influenced the city to launch a safety study on the bridge,[3] culminating in the construction of suicide barriers along the bridge in 2015.[4]
The film premiered at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.[5] It was subsequently screened at the 2010 AFI Fest, where it received an honorable mention from the short film jury,[6] and at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.[7]
