SUMMARY:A Return to Memory -Burlington Public Library
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES programming\, the Burlington Pu
 blic Library will present A Return to Memory.\n\nA Return to Memory  a fil
 m by Donald McWilliams (2024 | 116 minutes)\n\n\nWhen Canada entered World
  War II\, the National Film Board suddenly had an urgent new mission—and
  hundreds of women stepped forward\, helping to create Canadian cinema as 
 we now know it.\n\nAfter the screening there will be a Q&amp\;A with the f
 ilmmaker\, Don McWilliams whose work makes use of both live-action and ani
 mation techniques. He was inspired to become a filmmaker after meeting Nor
 man McLaren in 1968.\n\nMcWilliams would later work with McLaren\, and thi
 s led him to make two films about the acclaimed NFB animator: Creative Pr
 ocess: Norman McLaren (1990) and Norman McLaren: Animated Musician (2014
 ). McWilliams’ other films include a trilogy of historical film essays:
  The Passerby (1995)\, awarded Best Cultural Documentary at the 1997 Hot
  Docs festival and selected as one of the 50 best filmic essays by the Vie
 nna Film Festival in 2007\, The Fifth Province (2003)\, and A Time Ther
 e Was: Stories from the Last Days of Kenya Colony (2009). McWilliams also
  produced and edited Sunrise Over Tiananmen Square\, which was nominated
  for the 1999 Oscar® for Best Documentary Short.\n\nThe Writers Guild of 
 Canada has nominated his work twice for a best documentary script award. M
 cWilliams has been a part of the NFB Animation Studio for close to four de
 cades and was named Honorary President of the 2016 Ottawa International An
 imation Festival\, a testament to his influence in animation circles.\n\nM
