SUMMARY:Now is the Time
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES programming\, the Richmond Publ
 ic Library will present three short NFB films to highlight National Day of
  Truth &amp\; Reconciliation.\nINDIGENOUS SHORT FILM SCREENING\nNOW IS THE
  TIME | Christopher Auchter | 2019 | 16 min\n\nWhen internationally renow
 ned Haida carver Robert Davidson was only 22 years old\, he carved the fir
 st new totem pole on British Columbia’s Haida Gwaii in almost a century.
  On the 50th anniversary of the pole’s raising\, Haida filmmaker Christo
 pher Auchter steps easily through history to revisit that day in August 19
 69\, when the entire village of Old Massett gathered to celebrate the even
 t that would signal the rebirth of the Haida spirit.\n\n\nTHE MOUNTAIN OF 
 SGAANA | Christopher Auchter | 2017 | 10 min\n\nThe Mountain of SGaana sp
 ins a magical tale of a young man who is stolen away to the spirit world\,
  and the young woman who rescues him. Haida filmmaker Christopher Auchter
 ’s dream-like gem brilliantly entwines traditional animation with formal
  elements of Haida art\, which are brought to life by a rich\, evocative p
 alette and stylized effects.\n\n\nTHREE THOUSAND| Asinnajaq | 2017 | 14 mi
 n\n\nInuk artist Asinnajaq plunges us into a sublime imaginary universe—
 14 minutes of luminescent\, archive-inspired cinema that recast the past\,
  present and future of Inuit in a radiant new light. Diving into the NFB
 ’s vast archive\, she parses the complicated cinematic representation of
   the Inuit\, harvesting fleeting truths and fortuitous accidents from a 
 range of sources—newsreels\, propaganda\, ethnographic docs\, and works 
 of Inuit filmmakers. Embedding historic footage into original animation\, 
 she conjures up a vision of hope and beautiful possibility.\n\n_____\nFREE
  SCREENING\nThe films will be playing continuously on a loop during the li
 brary's opening hours.\n\nFor more information\, visit the library’s pag
 e event.
