Margaret & Evergon
Margaret & Evergon — In 1999, the celebrated Montreal photographer Evergon took a remarkable series of nude portraits of his own mother, then 80 years old. The photographs were instantly recognized as a singular achievement: the black and white images embodied not the infirmities of old age, but a timeless strength, dignity, even majesty.  In 2007 Margaret Lunt left her long-time home in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and moved to Montreal to live with her son. It was shortly afterwards that filmmaker Donald Winkler embarked on a project that would explore what lay behind that series of photographs, uncovering in the process a poignant family history, a womans determination to be her own person, and a unique and inspiring relationship between mother and son. The result... is Margaret and Evergon.
