If we want to live in democracy\, we must fi rst ask what the word even means.

Now\, all t hese years later\, Attiya has asked Steve to meet. She wants to know how he remembers their relationship and if he is willing to take responsibili ty for his violent actions. This emotionally raw first meeting\, filmed by Attiya with Steve’s consent\, is the starting point for A Better Man. The rough footage also marks a new beginning in Attiya’s own recovery pr ocess—as well as an important starting point for Steve. For the first ti me ever\, he speaks of the abuse and cracks opens the door to dealing with the past. Illuminating a new paradigm for domestic-violence prevention\,  A Better Man offers a fresh and nuanced look at the healing and revelat ion that can happen for everyone involved when men take responsibility for their abuse. It also empowers audience members to play new roles in chall enging domestic violence\, whether it’s in their own relationships or as part of a broader movement for social change.

The largely low-income residents of a renta l housing block in Toronto’s north-east end are threatened with imposed relocation due to the impending demolition of the place they call home. At the centre of this story is 12-year-old Francine Valentine\, a curious an d compassionate girl whose astute observations and innate ability to expre ss her thoughts belie her young age.\n\nFrancine and her peers are aided t hrough their community’s transition by teachers and mentors who show the m the power of art and creativity in navigating adversity. From garage reg gae jams to the soft jazz emanating behind languid shots of the neighbourh ood and its people\, from Francine’s careful reading of Edgar Allan Poe to the recording studio where the neighbourhood’s teenagers learn to lay down their musical tracks\, the capacity of art to provide strength and c reate change is fully realized. As Francine herself says\, art is an “es cape from reality.” Charles Officer builds a powerful bond of trust with this luminous girl\, crafting a poignant urban observational film that ex plores intertwining themes of economic disparity\, home\, love\, and sel f-esteem.\n\nFor more information on the screening\, click here.

The largely low-income residents of a renta l housing block in Toronto’s north-east end are threatened with imposed relocation due to the impending demolition of the place they call home. At the centre of this story is 12-year-old Francine Valentine\, a curious an d compassionate girl whose astute observations and innate ability to expre ss her thoughts belie her young age.\n\nFrancine and her peers are aided t hrough their community’s transition by teachers and mentors who show the m the power of art and creativity in navigating adversity. From garage reg gae jams to the soft jazz emanating behind languid shots of the neighbourh ood and its people\, from Francine’s careful reading of Edgar Allan Poe to the recording studio where the neighbourhood’s teenagers learn to lay down their musical tracks\, the capacity of art to provide strength and c reate change is fully realized. As Francine herself says\, art is an “es cape from reality.” Charles Officer builds a powerful bond of trust with this luminous girl\, crafting a poignant urban observational film that ex plores intertwining themes of economic disparity\, home\, love\, and sel f-esteem.\n\nFor more information on the activities at the Baie-D’Urfé Library\, click here.

Accla imed filmmaker Julia Kwan adeptly makes a poignant statement about gentrif ication and abandonment of the elderly\, and leaves us with the notion tha t perhaps home can be found within. Vancouver audiences who grew up in the city in the ’80s and ’90s will instantly recognize the references to the Stanley Park Zoo and Chinatown. Kwan drew inspiration for The Zoo from her research for Everything Will Be\, her 2014 NFB documentary about Vanc ouver’s Chinatown.

The largely low-income residents of a renta l housing block in Toronto’s north-east end are threatened with imposed relocation due to the impending demolition of the place they call home. At the centre of this story is 12-year-old Francine Valentine\, a curious an d compassionate girl whose astute observations and innate ability to expre ss her thoughts belie her young age.\n\nFrancine and her peers are aided t hrough their community’s transition by teachers and mentors who show the m the power of art and creativity in navigating adversity. From garage reg gae jams to the soft jazz emanating behind languid shots of the neighbourh ood and its people\, from Francine’s careful reading of Edgar Allan Poe to the recording studio where the neighbourhood’s teenagers learn to lay down their musical tracks\, the capacity of art to provide strength and c reate change is fully realized. As Francine herself says\, art is an “es cape from reality.” Charles Officer builds a powerful bond of trust with this luminous girl\, crafting a poignant urban observational film that ex plores intertwining themes of economic disparity\, home\, love\, and sel f-esteem.\n\nFor more information on the activities at the Okanagan Region al Library\, click here.

These adrenalin-fuelled 10-\, 12- \, and 14-year-olds are already striving to attain the highest performance standards. Filmed from the perspective of four students from the École s upérieure de ballet du Québec\, A Delicate Balance takes an introspect ive look at the lives of young people on the cusp of adolescence—that cr itical time in one’s life when childhood fantasies begin to collide with the realities of being an adult.\n\nThe girls and boys in this restrained first feature doc view themselves with a combination of lightheartedness and seriousness that’s typical for their age. Ultimately\, their coming of age experience is not so different from the path we all must take when facing those big decisions about our future\, those watershed moments that force us to take a good look at ourselves in the mirror.

In the 1930s in rural Ontario\, a farmer buried the tombstones of a Black cemetery to mak e way for a potato patch. In the 1980s\, descendants of the original settl ers\, Black and White\, came together to restore the cemetery\, but there were hidden truths no one wanted to discuss. Deep racial wounds were opene d. Scenes of the cemetery excavation\, interviews with residents and re-en actments—including one of a baseball game where a broken headstone is us ed for home plate—add to the film's emotional intensity.\n\nThe animated film MacPherson by Martine Chartrand (Black Soul) recounts the friendship between a young Félix Leclerc and Frank Randolph Macpherson\, a Jamaican chemical engineer and university graduate who worked for a pulp and paper company. An inveterate jazz fan\, Macpherson inspired Leclerc\, who wrote a song about the log drives and entitled it “MacPherson” in honour of his friend.

The largely low-income residents of a renta l housing block in Toronto’s north-east end are threatened with imposed relocation due to the impending demolition of the place they call home. At the centre of this story is 12-year-old Francine Valentine\, a curious an d compassionate girl whose astute observations and innate ability to expre ss her thoughts belie her young age.\n\nFrancine and her peers are aided t hrough their community’s transition by teachers and mentors who show the m the power of art and creativity in navigating adversity. From garage reg gae jams to the soft jazz emanating behind languid shots of the neighbourh ood and its people\, from Francine’s careful reading of Edgar Allan Poe to the recording studio where the neighbourhood’s teenagers learn to lay down their musical tracks\, the capacity of art to provide strength and c reate change is fully realized. As Francine herself says\, art is an “es cape from reality.” Charles Officer builds a powerful bond of trust with this luminous girl\, crafting a poignant urban observational film that ex plores intertwining themes of economic disparity\, home\, love\, and sel f-esteem.\n\nFor more information on the activities at the Idea Exchange P ublic Libraries\, click here.

Afte r remaining silent for nearly two and a half decades\, the sisters decide to come forward—not only to protect other young relatives\, but to set a n example for their daughters as well.\n\nDocumentarian Baljit Sangra sens itively explores the impact of sexual abuse on a family\, turning her empa thetic lens on intimate moments in the family’s life. Full of nuance and layers\, Because We Are Girls weaves poetically between past and presen t\, darkness and light. We witness the emotional toll that pursuing justic e through the courts and confronting their family for not protecting them as children takes on the sisters. But we also share in their happiness as they bond with their daughters and dance along to their favourite Bollywoo d songs. As the film deftly intertwines touching home footage of the young \, innocent girls they once were alongside uplifting scenes of the strong\ , empowered women they have become\, the family’s unconditional love flo ws freely through it all.\n\nStraying from typical portraits of the journe y to healing\, Because We Are Girls offers a unique and powerful tribute to women’s strength in the face of profound trauma.

Eventually\, they both enter their twilight years\; the elderly J un lives in a cramped room in Chinatown\, while Kut ekes out his final day s in a zoo that’s closing.\n\nCharming yet bittersweet\, Julia Kwan’s use of cutout animation makes a statement about ethnic neighbourhoods\, ge ntrification\, and abandonment of the elderly. The Zoo leaves its viewer s with a lingering and profound sense of hope that home can be found withi n.\n\nKwan\, who made her feature film debut with Eve and the Fire Horse\ , won the coveted Special Jury Prize for World Cinema at Sundance.

Is it the work of forgers\, or a gift from the gods to a Palestinian people desperately in need of hope? Soon the rumours start to swirl\, while behind the scenes local and intern ational players start jostling—some driven by historical preservation an d others by purely commercial interests. Filmed in Gaza and Jerusalem\, Th e Apollo of Gaza plays out like a mystery built around a national treasure that is the stuff of dreams. The Apollo of Gaza is an engaging reflection on the passage of time and the fragility of civilizations\, as well as a poetic and philosophical meditation that immerses us in the often-misunder stood realities of life in a place that continues to pay a heavy price for the seemingly endless Israeli-Palestinian conflict—a place where life d oggedly carries on\, resisting. Like a meteor streaking across the sky\, t he statue of Apollo brings a moment of light and beauty to Gaza.

Their odd dating habits\, unsucc essful attempts at Arctic exploration\, overbearing bureaucrats and police \, and obsession with owning property are curious indeed.\n\nA collaborati on between filmmaker Mark Sandiford and Inuit writer and satirist Zebedee Nungak\, Qallunaat! brings the documentary form to an unexpected place in which oppression\, history\, and comedy collide.\n\n\n\n\n\nFor mor info\, click here ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.nfb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/01 /qallunaat.jpg CATEGORIES:Screenings LOCATION:Oscar Lathlin Collegiate\, Gymnasium\, .\, The Pas\, Manitoba\, Ca nada GEO:53.825527;-101.247613 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=.\, The Pas\, Manitoba\, Ca nada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Oscar Lathlin Collegiate\, Gymnasium:geo:5 3.825527,-101.247613 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1064@events.nfb.ca DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20200314T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20200314T201500 DTSTAMP:20200211T221056Z URL:https://events.nfb.ca/events/the-whale-and-the-raven-15/ SUMMARY:The Whale and The Raven DESCRIPTION:\nMirjam Leuze\n2019 | 101 min\n\nOn the otherwise uninhabited Gil Island\, just off the northwest coast of British Columbia\, the sound of waves lapping and ravens cawing is punctuated by the haunting whale ca lls emanating from a network of loudspeakers. Drawn to the rich food sourc es and quiet waters\, humpback whales\, pods of orca\, fin whales\, and po rpoises eat\, play\, and raise their young here\, in the Kitimat fjord sys tem.\n\nWhale researchers Hermann Meuter and Janie Wray founded the Ceta cea Lab on Gil Island to study this unique marine environment. But the i mminent construction of a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporting plant in the nearby community of Kitimat\, BC\, promises to bring increasing tan ker traffic and noise\, with unknown consequences.\n\nDirector Mirjam Leuz e’s The Whale and The Raven illuminates the many issues that have dra wn scientists\, the Gitga’at First Nation\, and the Government of Britis h Columbia into a complex conflict. As the people in the Great Bear Rainfo rest struggle to protect their territory against the pressure and promis e of the gas industry\, caught in between are the countless beings that ca ll this place home.\n\nHosted by the Travelling World Film Festival.

Three generations later\, his gran dson\, artist Randall Okita\, leads us on an interactive virtual pilgrimag e through an emotional geography of immigration and family to recover what was lost.\n\nThe Book of Distance blends techniques from mechanical sculp ture\, film\, and stage to redefine personal storytelling in virtual reali ty.

He never strays too far from our si de as we move through the story’s darker moments. His need to reclaim hi s grandfather’s lost moments becomes our own.

Doesn’t silence perpetuate suffering? From the 195 0s to the 1980s\, Catholic priests sexually abused many young boys in the francophone towns of New Brunswick. These scandals only came to light when the victims were in their fifties\, provoking shock and outrage in the me dia and the public. Why did the affected communities keep silent so long\, preferring secrecy to justice and truth? Profiting from their positions o f influence to impose a “pious silence” on their parishioners\, author ity figures built an abusive system that tells us as much about the type o f oppression specific to the Acadian population as it does about the blank et denials issued by the Catholic Church. Called to confront the power of this collective silence\, veteran filmmaker Renée Blanchar meets with sur vivors in an attempt to untangle the deeply rooted reasons for this secrec y. With The Silence\, she takes us as close as she can to the humanity of these broken men\, revealing the forces that\, today as in the past\, have the power to unite or divide Acadian communities.\n\nTo purchase tickets:   FIN STREAM  please click here.

Doesn’t silence perpetuat e suffering? From the 1950s to the 1980s\, Catholic priests sexually abuse d many young boys in the francophone towns of New Brunswick. These scandal s only came to light when the victims were in their fifties\, provoking sh ock and outrage in the media and the public. Why did the affected communit ies keep silent so long\, preferring secrecy to justice and truth? Profiti ng from their positions of influence to impose a “pious silence” on th eir parishioners\, authority figures built an abusive system that tells us as much about the type of oppression specific to the Acadian population a s it does about the blanket denials issued by the Catholic Church. Called to confront the power of this collective silence\, veteran filmmaker René e Blanchar meets with survivors in an attempt to untangle the deeply roote d reasons for this secrecy. With The Silence\, she takes us as close as sh e can to the humanity of these broken men\, revealing the forces that\, to day as in the past\, have the power to unite or divide Acadian communities .\n\nTo purchase tickets please click here.

She holds a masterès in film studies from Université de Montré al and a bachelor’s in graphic design from Université du Québec à Mon tréal. As part of her doctoral studies\, she is currently conducting art- focused research that experiments with the intersection of conventional dr awing and computer graphics. This project is an extension of her personal artistic journey\, in which she has often explored concepts of materiality and temporality in images through both static images and animation.  \n \nJanice Nadeau has illustrated ten books\, earning her three prestigious Governor General’s Literary Awards in the Children’s Literature — Il lustration category. She has also co-directed and directed the animated fi lms Nul poisson où aller (No Fish Where to Go) and Mamie\, both selected for official competition in over 50 international festivals and winners of \, among other awards\, the Japan Foundation President’s Prize (2014) an d a FIPRESCI Prize (2014). \n\nCoproduced by the NFB and Folimage by Marc Bertrand (NFB) and Corinne Destombes (Folimage)\, Harvey is an animated s hort based on the eponymous graphic novel by Hervé Bouchard and illustrat ed by Nadeau (éditions de La Pastèque) about a small boy who openly reco unts the spring when his world was turned upside-down. The film was world premiered at the most recent edition of the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival and was backed by an exceptional team\, including ani mation leads Claude Cloutier and Marc Robinet\, sound designer Olivier Cal vert\, and composer Martin Léon.  \n\n*This talk will be given in Frenc h.\n\nhttps://vimeo.com/781938905\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.nfb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/03 /Logo_NFB_COM_Lecons-de-cinema_2048x1152-EN.jpg CATEGORIES:Free Event,NFB Meet-Ups LOCATION:Cinémathèque québécoise\, 335 De Maisonneuve Blvd. East\, Mont real\, Quebec\, H2X 1K1\, Montreal\, Canada GEO:45.506926;-73.569242 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=335 De Maisonneuve Blvd. Ea st\, Montreal\, Quebec\, H2X 1K1\, Montreal\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X- TITLE=Cinémathèque québécoise:geo:45.506926,-73.569242 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1427@events.nfb.ca DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230402T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230402T000000 DTSTAMP:20230314T175431Z URL:https://events.nfb.ca/events/the-colour-of-ink-edmonton/ SUMMARY:The Colour of Ink DESCRIPTION:Ink is our primal medium.

He eloquently exposes the falsehoods of white supremacy and deftly punctures myths of Indigenous erasure to lay bare what has been extracted from the land\, culture\, and peoples of Turtle Island. In this time of momentous c hange and essential re- examination\, Inconvenient Indian is a powerful visual poem anchored in the land and amplified by the voices of those who continue the tradition of Indigenous resistance.

With winks to his cab driver Coyote along the way\, King takes us on a critical journey through the colonial narrati ves of North America. He eloquently exposes the falsehoods of white suprem acy and deftly punctures myths of Indigenous erasure to lay bare what has been extracted from the land\, culture\, and peoples of Turtle Island. In this time of momentous change and essential re- examination\, Inconvenien t Indian is a powerful visual poem anchored in the land and amplified by the voices of those who continue the tradition of Indigenous resistance. A rtist activists\, land protectors\, hunters\, and those leading cultural r evitalization powerfully subvert the “inconvenience” of their existen ce\, creating an essential new narrative and a possible path forward for u s all.\n\n-----\n\nPlease visit organiser’s website for more info : http s://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/northerndistrict/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.nfb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/07 /1021822_InconvenientIndian_Grab07_867456_300dp_4i-scaled.jpg CATEGORIES:Free Event,Screenings LOCATION:Toronto Public Library - Northern District\, 40 Orchard View Boule vard \, Toronto \, Ontario\, M4R 1B9\, Canada GEO:43.708178;-79.399706 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=40 Orchard View Boulevard \ , Toronto \, Ontario\, M4R 1B9\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Toronto Public Library - Northern District:geo:43.708178,-79.399706 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1542@events.nfb.ca DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver;VALUE=DATE:20231012 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver;VALUE=DATE:20231013 DTSTAMP:20230927T135846Z URL:https://events.nfb.ca/events/vancouver-public-library-daajing-giids-be yond-paper/ SUMMARY:Vancouver Public Library (Daajing Giids): Beyond Paper DESCRIPTION:\n\nAs part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES\, the Daajing Giids branch of the Vancouver Public Library is offering a free screening of the follow ing documentary\, for Canadian Library Month:\n\n\nBeyond Paper (Oana Sute u Khintirian | 2022 | 130 min)\n\nIn the era of the digital revolution\, the transmission of knowledge is going through a profound upheaval as huma nity’s archives migrate from paper to the cloud.

With winks to his cab driver Coyote along the way\, King takes us on a critical journey through the colonial narratives of North America. He el oquently exposes the falsehoods of white supremacy and deftly punctures my ths of Indigenous erasure to lay bare what has been extracted from the lan d\, culture\, and peoples of Turtle Island. In this time of momentous chan ge and essential re- examination\, Inconvenient Indian is a powerful vis ual poem anchored in the land and amplified by the voices of those who con tinue the tradition of Indigenous resistance.

Aft er graduating from Université Laval’s École des arts visuels in Quebec City\, she continued her studies in Germany\, specializing in drawing and printmaking with the German Association of Visual Artists. She returned t o Montreal in 1982 and began teaching drawing and illustration at the Univ ersité du Quebec à Montréal (UQAM) school of design  while pursuing he r career as a book illustrator and animation filmmaker.\n\nSince 1978\, sh e’s written and illustrated more than 15 children’s books\, including Stormy Night\, which in 1997 won the prestigious Bologna Ragazzi Award. Ad apted for the screen in 2006 at the National Film Board of Canada (NFB)\, the film garnered a dozen awards\, including a Crystal Bear at the 2004 Be rlin International Film Festival. Lemieux first encountered the Alexeïeff -Parker pinscreen in 2006 at a workshop given by filmmaker Jacques Drouin at the NFB. She used it to make her second animated short\, Here and the G reat Elsewhere\, which she completed in early 2012. The film screened wide ly on the international festival circuit\, winning multiple awards.\n\nLem ieux describes her relationship with the pinscreen as follows: “Far more than just a tool\, to me the pinscreen is a type of intermediary\, one wh ose character is complex\, sometimes capricious\, often impenetrable\, but always generous and brimming with discoveries. However\, it is in its dia logue with current technologies where I sense new and unexplored facets of its potential. Without even knowing I was looking for it\, I’ve had the great good fortune to stumble upon this instrument that responds so fully to my creative process. Never would I have been able to conceive of such an instrument\, let alone invent one. But even Alexeïeff has said he coul dn’t have brought his idea to fruition without the help of his wife\, en gineer and artist Claire Parker\, who had such a profound grasp of the nee ds of artmaking. Each night as I leave my studio\, I’m eager to get back to work the next day\, much like how we long to meet up with a dear frien d who still has many secrets to share.”\n\nIn this one-hour master class \, the filmmaker will discuss her creative process when using the NFB’s Alexeïeff-Parker pinscreen\, her research on light and colour\, and her “encounter” with Mariana of Austria\, the subject of her most recent a nimated short\, The Painting. This richly poetic\, non-narrative film offe rs a highly personal response to the portrait of Mariana painted by Diego Velázquez in 1652. Screening at festivals in 2024\, The Painting is produ ced by Christine Noël and Julie Roy\, with music composed by Robert Marce l Lepage and sound design by Catherine Van Der Donckt.\n\nFREE ADMISSION\n \n* This talk will be given in French.\n\n \;\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.nfb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12 /1566_COM_Lecons-de-cinema_2048x1152_EN.jpg CATEGORIES:Free Event,NFB Meet-Ups LOCATION:Cinémathèque québécoise\, 335 De Maisonneuve Blvd. East\, Mont real\, Quebec\, H2X 1K1\, Montreal\, Canada GEO:45.506926;-73.569242 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=335 De Maisonneuve Blvd. Ea st\, Montreal\, Quebec\, H2X 1K1\, Montreal\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X- TITLE=Cinémathèque québécoise:geo:45.506926,-73.569242 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1616@events.nfb.ca DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20240201T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20240201T193000 DTSTAMP:20240123T151240Z URL:https://events.nfb.ca/events/ninth-floor-4/ SUMMARY:Ninth Floor DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES programming for Black History M onth\, the Toronto Public Library - Palmerston Branch is offering a free s creening of the following film:\n\n\nNinth Floor (MINA SHUM | 2015 | 81 m in)\n\nIt started quietly when a group of Caribbean students\, strangers i n a cold new land\, began to suspect their professor of racism.\n\nIt ende d in the most explosive student uprising Canada had ever known.\n\nOver fo ur decades later\, Ninth Floor reopens the file on the infamous Sir Geor ge Williams Riot – a watershed moment in Canadian race relations and one of the most contested episodes in the nation’s history.\n\nMaking a com passionate and audacious foray into non-fiction\, writer and director Mina Shum locates the protagonists in clandestine locations throughout Trinida d and Montreal\, the wintry city where it all went down.\n\nIn a cinematic gesture of reckoning and redemption\, she listens as they set the record straight — and lay their burden down.\n\nCan we make peace with the past ?

Deep racia l wounds were opened. Scenes of the cemetery excavation\, interviews with residents and re-enactments—including one of a baseball game where a bro ken headstone is used for home plate—add to the film's emotional intensi ty.\n\nLearn more about the film here.\n\n—–\n\nFind more information on upcoming Black History Month free screenings at the UNB here.

Featured here\, among others\, are Viola Desmond\, a woman who insisted on keeping her seat at the Rosel and movie theatre in New Glasgow\, Nova Scotia in 1946 rather than moving to the section normally reserved for the city's Black population\, and Fre d Christie\, who took his case to the Supreme Court after being denied ser vice at a Montreal tavern in 1936. These brave pioneers helped secure just ice for all Canadians. Their stories deserve to be told.\n\nFor more info on the event\, visit The Rooms website here.

Yet\, harsh working conditions were a bitter reality and there were no opportunities for promotion to other railway jobs.

Cheryl Foggo believes so.  John Ware Reclaimed follows author\, playwright\, and filmmaker Foggo on her quest to uncover the rich and complex story of John Ware\, the iconic and larger-than-life Black cowboy who settled in Alberta prior to the turn of the 20th century. As she researches the many truths of Ware’s life amid the superficial myths and mistellings surrounding him\, she recalls h er childhood in Calgary\, Alberta. She revisits her own experiences of rac ism\, and her family’s pioneer history as part of the 1910 migration to western Canada to escape violence in the southern United States. She also evokes the often-suppressed history of a thriving Black presence in the Ca nadian west: the Black cowboys\, ranchers\, labourers\, and farmers who li ved\, worked\, and raised families here\, including earlier generations of her own family in northern Saskatchewan and Alberta.\n\nPart ode\, part e ulogy\, part mystery\, with views of sweeping prairie landscapes and music inspired by John Ware\, the film reveals Ware to be a rounded and sometim es enigmatic man\, and reaffirms him as a major figure in Albertan—and C anadian—history. Foggo’s archival\, genealogical\, and archaeological research\, and her creative reimagining of John Ware’s life and family\, show who he might have been\, how he might have lived\, and what his lega cy means for a version of Canada that often denies its history of anti-Bla ck racism.\n\nLearn more about the film here.\n\nLooking for discussion ma terials?

Cheryl Foggo believes so. John Ware Reclaimed follows aut hor\, playwright\, and filmmaker Foggo on her quest to uncover the rich an d complex story of John Ware\, the iconic and larger-than-life Black cowbo y who settled in Alberta prior to the turn of the 20th century. As she re searches the many truths of Ware’s life amid the superficial myths and m istellings surrounding him\, she recalls her childhood in Calgary\, Albert a. She revisits her own experiences of racism\, and her family’s pioneer history as part of the 1910 migration to western Canada to escape violenc e in the southern United States. She also evokes the often-suppressed hist ory of a thriving Black presence in the Canadian west: the Black cowboys\, ranchers\, labourers\, and farmers who lived\, worked\, and raised famili es here\, including earlier generations of her own family in northern Sask atchewan and Alberta.\n\nPart ode\, part eulogy\, part mystery\, with view s of sweeping prairie landscapes and music inspired by John Ware\, the fil m reveals Ware to be a rounded and sometimes enigmatic man\, and reaffirms him as a major figure in Albertan—and Canadian—history. Foggo’s arc hival\, genealogical\, and archaeological research\, and her creative reim agining of John Ware’s life and family\, show who he might have been\, h ow he might have lived\, and what his legacy means for a version of Canada that often denies its history of anti-Black racism.\n\nLearn more about t he film here.\n\nLooking for discussion materials?

Glacier-fed alpine lakes each have a unique blue formed by the mountains and ice that shaped them. These intense colours hold the memory of “deep time\,” ge ological processes millions of years old. Now climate change is rapidly ac celerating environmental shifts and causing some of these spectacular blue s to vanish. Losing Blue is an expansive metaphor for the massive and subt le impacts of climate change. With stunning cinematography\, the film imme rses viewers in the magnificence of lakes so rare that most have never see n them\, pulling us in so that we experience these bodies of water as if w e were standing alone on their rocky shores—witnesses to their power and acutely aware of what their loss would mean\, both for ourselves and for the Earth. This short documentary gently asks what it might mean to forget that the ethereal blues of these lakes ever existed.\n\n\n\nLeanne Alliso n is a filmmaker based in Canmore\, Alberta\, known for her award-winning feature-length NFB documentaries Being Caribou and Finding Farley. Both th ese films are based on long wilderness journeys in remote parts of Canada that continue to shape her work today. She is the co-creator of the NFB in teractive documentary Bear 71\, which is widely considered to be a seminal piece in the world of interactive media.\n\nAdmission is free at the door .

In 1929\, the Haisla returned from a fishing trip to find the 9-m etre-high totem pole severed at the base and removed. The fate of the 19th -century pole remained unknown to the Haisla for over sixty years.\n\nDire ctor Gil Cardinal reveals their 1991 discovery of the pole in a Stockholm museum\, where it is considered state property by the Swedish government. From the lush rainforest near Kitamaat Village\, BC\, to the National Muse um of Ethnography in Sweden\, the documentary traces the fascinating journ ey of the Haisla to reclaim their traditional mortuary pole.

Featuring:\n\nBone\, Wind\, Fire (Jill Sharp e | 2011 | 30 mins)\n\n\nThis Emmy-nominated feature film is an intimate a nd evocative journey into the hearts\, minds and eyes of Georgia O’Keeff e\, Emily Carr and Frida Kahlo - 3 of the 20th century’s most remarkable artists. The film uses the women’s own words\, taken from their letters and diaries\, to reveal 3 individual creative processes in all their subt le and fascinating variety.\n\nJune ( Munro Ferguson | 2003 | 6 mins )\nMa de in memory of Canadian artist and filmmaker Joyce June Wieland\, June  is a hand-drawn stereoscopic animation by NFB animator\, Munro Ferguson. I t is like a three-dimensional abstract painting that moves. June is Munr o's attempt to capture what it was like for him to know Joyce. Part 1\, "A lzheimer's"\, is about the end of her life. Part 2\, "Memory"\, is about w hat she was like during the height of her creative powers.\n\n\nThe Other Side of the Picture (Teresa MacInnes | 1998 | 52 mins)\n\nThis feature doc umentary tackles the question: "are there no great women artists?" The sta tistics are confounding: at Washington's National Gallery only 1 in every 30 paintings is by a woman. In Canada\, women account for a mere 8 percent of the National Gallery's collection. This thought-provoking film takes u s into the homes and studios of artists such as Mary Pratt\, Joyce Weiland \, Jane Ash Poitras and Landon Mackenzie\, who address the question of ine quality in the art world.\n\n\n\n\nFor more information visit the organize r's website here.

Though most commercia l sealing is conducted by Inuit in the Arctic\, anti-sealing activism has created a perception of the industry that denies their central role in the sealskin market. To reinsert themselves into the international discussion \, these Inuit activists must inconvenience the fundraising campaigns of a nimal groups by using all the tricks in the social media book\, and invent some of their own along the way\, like “sealfies.” Seal meat is a sta ple food for Inuit\, and many of the pelts are sold to offset the extraord inary cost of hunting. Inuit are spread across extensive lands and waters\ , and their tiny population is faced with a disproportionate responsibilit y for protecting the environment. They are pushing for a sustainable way t o take part in the global economy\, but in opposition stands an army of we ll-funded activists and well-meaning celebrities. \n \;\nArnaquq-Baril and her cameras travel through the Canadian Arctic\, giving voice to the people the animal activists rarely bother to meet: the hunters\, the craft speople\, the families for whom the seal hunt is a critical part of their livelihood and survival. She follows a group of students to Europe\, where they plead the Inuit case before a European Union panel. The film interwe aves the reality of Inuit life with the story of their challenge to both t he anti-sealing industry and those nations that mine resources on Inuit la nds while simultaneously destroying the main sustainable economy available to the people who live there. As one student said\, “We need to stop th e cultural prejudice that is imposed on us by not being allowed to benefit from our natural surroundings without having to drill into the ground. An d that’s really all we want as a people.” .\n \;\n\nFor more info rmation visit the organizer's website here.\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.nfb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/06 /Alethea-on-ice-in-Pang.jpg CATEGORIES:Free Event,Screenings LOCATION:Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery\, 101 Queen St. North\, Kitchener\, ON\, N2H 6P7\, Canada GEO:43.454476;-80.483996 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=101 Queen St. North\, Kitch ener\, ON\, N2H 6P7\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery:geo:43.454476,-80.483996 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1607@events.nfb.ca DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton;VALUE=DATE:20240812 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton;VALUE=DATE:20240813 DTSTAMP:20240122T232019Z URL:https://events.nfb.ca/events/love-the-last-chapter-2/ SUMMARY:Love\, The Last Chapter DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES\, the Lethbridge Public Library is offering a free screening of the following film:\n\nLove\, The Last Ch apter (Dominique Keller | 2021 | 78 min)\n\nOn the outside\, it looks li ke any ordinary seniors’ facility.

Dewar (1975\, 27 min)\n\nThis short documentary examines the changing rel ations between labour and management in the long-established company town of Trail\, BC\, in which 90% of the workforce is employed by Cominco\, the world’s largest lead-zinc smelter. The metal workers in the town are ou tspoken about the health risks associated with their line of work\, and a debate about unionization ensues. The days of paternalistic management are gone\, and the emphasis is now on participation and involvement. An event ual strike over dissatisfaction with labour relations turns violent when m anagement\, union executives\, and workers clash over competing interests. \n\n \;\n"They Didn't Starve Us Out": Industrial Cape Breton in the 19 20s - directed by Patricia Kipping (1991\, 21 min)\n\nFor 200 years\, coal mining had been a way of life in Cape Breton. By 1920 things were looking up: miners were unionized and paid decent wages. Then the British Empire Steel Corporation arrived and bought every single steel and coal company i n Nova Scotia. BESCO cut wages by a third\, setting off a bitter labour di spute. The miners settled in for a long strike. Finally\, in 1925\, the mi litary ended the unrest with brute force. But the miners\, in one sense\, had won. They broke up the monopoly and provided an example to workers acr oss the country.\n\n \;\n\n Join your host\, writer/researcher for The Alberta Advantage Podcast and masters history candidate William Gillies a s he dives into the Canadian cinematic treasure trove that is the National Film Board Archives\, curating selections according to different themes e ach month.\n\nMore info at https://establishmentbrewing.ca/events?view=cal endar&\;month=09-2024 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.nfb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/08 /24-Days-in-Brooks_cropped.jpg CATEGORIES:Free Event,Screenings LOCATION:The Establishment Brewing Company\, 4407 1 Street SE\, Calgary\, A B\, T2G 2L2\, Canada GEO:51.014291;-114.062347 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=4407 1 Street SE\, Calgary\ , AB\, T2G 2L2\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=The Establishment Brewi ng Company:geo:51.014291,-114.062347 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1608@events.nfb.ca DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton;VALUE=DATE:20240909 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton;VALUE=DATE:20240910 DTSTAMP:20240122T232848Z URL:https://events.nfb.ca/events/ndtr-2024-lethbridge-public-library/ SUMMARY:NDTR 2024 - Lethbridge Public Library DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES\, the Lethbridge Public Library is offering a free screening of the following films on Sept 9th\, in the lead up to National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (Sept 30th) :\n\n Ma ry Two-Axe  Earley: I am Indian Again (Courtney Montour | 2021 | 34 min) \n Honour To Senator Murray Sinclair (Alanis Obomsawin | 2021 | 29 min)\ n Stories Are in Our Bones (Janine Windolph | 2019 | 11 min)\n\n---\n\nF or more info\, please contact the organiser: www.lethlib.ca  ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.nfb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/03 /stories-are-in-our-bones-XL.jpg CATEGORIES:Free Event,NFB IN LIBRARIES,Screenings LOCATION:Lethbridge Public Library\, 810 5 Ave S\, Lethbridge\, Alberta\, T 1J 4C4\, Canada GEO:49.692609;-112.834232 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=810 5 Ave S\, Lethbridge\, Alberta\, T1J 4C4\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Lethbridge Public Li brary:geo:49.692609,-112.834232 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1767@events.nfb.ca DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York;VALUE=DATE:20240914 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York;VALUE=DATE:20240926 DTSTAMP:20240916T175458Z URL:https://events.nfb.ca/events/any-other-way-the-jackie-shane-story-in-c inemas/ SUMMARY:Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story - In Cinemas DESCRIPTION:Find a screening at a cinema near you.  \n\n \;\n\nSt. Cat harines | Opening September 14\nThe Film House at Ontario Performing Arts Centre\n\n \;\n\nGuelph| Opening September 18\nBookshelf  Cinema\n\n& nbsp\;\n\nHalifax | Opening September 20\nCineplex Cinemas – Park Lane\n \n \;\n\nVictoria | Opening September 23\nCinecenta\n\n \;\n\nWolf ville\, Nova Scotia | Opening September 25\nAl Whittle Theatre\n\n \;\ n\nMore dates and cities to be announced soon! \n\n \;\n\nSynopsis\n\n A star is reborn.

Then the explorer plants another\, and anoth er\, and another\, while the hunter\, clearly not impressed that his land has been “discovered\,” quietly goes about his business. In this charm ing and humorous re-imagining of first contact between Inuit and European\ , Jonathan Wright brings us the story of a savvy hunter and the ill-equipp ed explorer he outwits.\n \;\n\nShaman (Echo Henoche | 2017 | 5 min)\n \nThis animated short tells the story of a ferocious polar bear turned to stone by an Inuk shaman.

Lisa Jackson’s portrait of Cree Elder Wilfred B uck moves between earth and sky\, past and present\, bringing to life anci ent teachings of Indigenous astronomy and cosmology to tell a story that s pans generations.

It means that we have a future.”\n\nA powerful film about intergenerati onal trauma and healing\, examined through an Indigenous lens\, WaaPaKe r eveals the reality of living in the shadow of residential school experienc es and explores ways in which we can change the narrative to one that offe rs hope and a view to the future. The film creates a space for reflection and discussion so that the descendants of residential school survivors may respond to this shared burden of history and confront the cyclical nature of intergenerational trauma in their own lives and beyond.\n\n“…a ten der portrait of how we shift from a trauma-centric conversation to one of actionable healing and acceptance within family – with community\, land\ , love and culture.

The Helen Betty Osborne Ininiw Education Resource Cen tre in Norway House\, north of Winnipeg\, receives a level of funding that few other Indigenous institutions enjoy. Its teachers help their students to develop their abilities and their sense of pride. In addition to teach ing academic subjects\, the school reconnects students with their ancestra l culture.\n\nThe fifth film in a cycle that began with The People of the Kattawapiskak River\, Our People Will Be Healed adopts an optimistic to ne without denying a dark past.

Alanis O bomsawin shares the powerful speech the Senator gave when he accepted the WFM-Canada World Peace Award\, interspersing the heartbreaking testimonies of former students imprisoned at residential schools.\n\n \;\n\nOne o f the most acclaimed Indigenous directors in the world\, Alanis Obomsawin came to cinema from performance and storytelling. Hired by the NFB as a co nsultant in 1967\, she has created an extraordinary body of work—50 film s and counting—including landmark documentaries like Incident at Restig ouche (1984) and Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance (1993). The Aben aki director has received numerous international honours and her work was showcased in a 2008 retrospective at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. “My main interest all my life has been education\,” says Obomsawin\, “because that’s where you develop yourself\, where you learn to hate\, or to love.”\n\n---\n\nThe screening will take place in the Penfield Au ditorium at John Abbott College. All are welcome.\n\nFor more information contact the college at 514-457-6610 x5098 or communications@johnabbott.qc. ca ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.nfb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/05 /MurraySinclair_no3.png CATEGORIES:Free Event,Screenings LOCATION:John Abbott College\, 21 275 Lakeshore Road\, Sainte-Anne-de-Belle vue\,\, QC\, H9X 3L9\, Canada GEO:45.420774;-73.871993 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=21 275 Lakeshore Road\, Sai nte-Anne-de-Bellevue\,\, QC\, H9X 3L9\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE= John Abbott College:geo:45.420774,-73.871993 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1840@events.nfb.ca DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20241113T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20241113T190000 DTSTAMP:20241018T212906Z URL:https://events.nfb.ca/events/stolen-time-9/ SUMMARY:Stolen Time DESCRIPTION:Advocates for the Care of the Elderly Nova Scotia invite you to a free screening of\n\nStolen Time - directed by Helene Klodawsky | 2023 | 1 hr 25 min\n\nA compelling call for justice\, Stolen Time follows chari smatic elder rights lawyer Melissa Miller as she takes on the corporate fo r-profit nursing-home industry—an industry notorious for its lack of tra nsparency and accountability.

L’origine du mot prête à controverse\, mais celui-ci n’es t plus en usage au Canada : le Conseil circumpolaire inuit l’a officiell ement rejeté en 1980 et l’ONF ne l’utilise plus depuis des décennies . Il y a donc lieu de considérer ce film\, présenté ici en version orig inale\, comme une capsule témoin d’une époque révolue.

Cheryl Foggo believ es so. John Ware Reclaimed follows filmmaker Foggo on her quest to uncov er the complex story of John Ware\, a Black cowboy and rancher who settled in Alberta prior to the turn of the 20th century. As she endeavours to d ig past the racist myths and mistellings surrounding Ware\, she recalls he r childhood in Calgary\, Alberta\, her own experiences of racism\, and her family’s history as part of the 1910 migration to western Canada to esc ape violence in the southern United States. She also evokes the suppressed history of a thriving Black presence in the Prairies: the Black pioneers who lived\, worked\, and raised families in the west. Foggo’s archival\, genealogical\, and archaeological search\, and her creative reimagining o f John Ware’s life\, reveal who this iconic figure might have been\, and what his legacy means.\n\nTrailer: John Ware (Trailer 1m26s)\n\n\n_______ \n\nFREE SCREENING\nTo have more information on this screening\, consult t he library's website.\nYou are encouraged to register for this event.

Cheryl Foggo believes so. John Ware Reclaimed follows author\, playwright\, and filmm aker Foggo on her quest to uncover the rich and complex story of John Ware \, the iconic and larger-than-life Black cowboy who settled in Alberta pri or to the turn of the 20th century. As she researches the many truths of Ware’s life amid the superficial myths and mistellings surrounding him\, she recalls her childhood in Calgary\, Alberta. She revisits her own expe riences of racism\, and her family’s pioneer history as part of the 1910 migration to western Canada to escape violence in the southern United Sta tes. She also evokes the often-suppressed history of a thriving Black pres ence in the Canadian west: the Black cowboys\, ranchers\, labourers\, and farmers who lived\, worked\, and raised families here\, including earlier generations of her own family in northern Saskatchewan and Alberta.\n\nPar t ode\, part eulogy\, part mystery\, with views of sweeping prairie landsc apes and music inspired by John Ware\, the film reveals Ware to be a round ed and sometimes enigmatic man\, and reaffirms him as a major figure in Al bertan—and Canadian—history. Foggo’s archival\, genealogical\, and a rchaeological research\, and her creative reimagining of John Ware’s lif e and family\, show who he might have been\, how he might have lived\, and what his legacy means for a version of Canada that often denies its histo ry of anti-Black racism.\n\nLearn more about the film here.\n\nLooking for discussion materials?

For t his event\, a screening of Wilfred Buck will be followed by a conversation between filmmakers Lisa Jackson and Danis Goulet. Intro by Archer Pechawi s.\n\n---\nThe film:  WILFRED BUCK Directed by Lisa Jackson (2024\, 96 mi ns)\n\nHe’s from the “fresh-out-of-the-bush\, partly civilized\, colon ized\, displaced people\,” and he’s here to take us to the stars. Lisa Jackson’s portrait of Cree Elder Wilfred Buck moves between earth and s ky\, past and present\, bringing to life ancient teachings of Indigenous a stronomy and cosmology to tell a story that spans generations. This hybrid feature documentary follows the extraordinary life of Wilfred Buck\, a ch arismatic and irreverent Cree Elder who overcame a harrowing yet familiar history of displacement\, racism and addiction by reclaiming ancestral sta r knowledge and ceremony.\n\nBuck is humble\, profound\, funny\, always re al and a master storyteller. As a young man\, his community in Northern Ma nitoba is forcibly relocated to make way for a hydroelectric dam\, Buck’ s family loses everything. He descends into the darkness of the city stree ts\, surviving any way he can\, until he reconnects with Elders who start him on a path that transforms his world.  Driven by insatiable curiosity and instructed by dreams\, Buck becomes a science educator and internation ally respected star lore expert. His mission is sharing these life-changin g teachings—as relevant and urgent today as ever—always guided by cere mony and anchored in the land.\n\nAdapted from Buck’s rollicking memoir  I Have Lived Four Lives\, director Lisa Jackson deftly interweaves verit é footage of Buck’s present with archival footage and cinematic\, drama tized scenes from his past\, painting a portrait of a beloved leader who n ow stands at the forefront of the resurgence of Indigenous ways of knowing .\n\n---\n\nWatch the trailer at https://vimeo.com/942488273\n\n---\nAbout Lisa Jackson:\nLisa Jackson is an Anishinaabe filmmaker whose work has ga rnered two Canadian Screen Awards\, been nominated for a Webby and screene d at top festivals including Sundance\, Tribeca\, SXSW\, Berlinale and Hot Docs.

Decades later\, Jeff Barnaby\, director of Rhymes for Young Ghouls\, cited the film as an insp iration. “That documentary encapsulated the idea of films being a form o f social protest for me...
