SUMMARY:NFB at Spark Animation Festival and Conference
DESCRIPTION:\n 	THURSDAY\, OCTOBER 25 @ 7:00 PM\n\nANIMAL BEHAVIOUR\n\n De
 aling with what comes naturally isn’t easy\, especially for animals. In 
 Animal Behaviour\, five animals—including a leech who suffers from separ
 ation anxiety and a bird with guilt issues—meet regularly to discuss the
 ir inner angst in a group therapy session led by Dr. Clement\, a canine ps
 ychotherapist.\n\nWinner of the Grand Prix at Rio de Janeiro’s Anima Mun
 di festival and the Audience Choice Best Short Film Award at Cinéfest Sud
 bury\, Animal Behaviour marks the return of wife-and-husband team Alison S
 nowden and David Fine to the NFB.\n\nA SHORT FILM ABOUT TEGAN &amp\; SARA\
 n\n Created for the 2018 Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards\, fi
 lmmaker Ann Marie Fleming’s A Short Film About Tegan &amp\; Sara explore
 s the formative days and musical career of Calgary-born identical twins Te
 gan and Sara Quin. Their remarkable journey over the past 20 years has oft
 en intersected with notions of identity—as artists\, as individuals\, as
  sisters\, as queer women\, and as leading activists in the LGBTQ communit
 y. Their musical progression parallels and amplifies their commitment to b
 ringing the marginal to the mainstream.\n\n 	FRIDAY\, OCTOBER 26 @ 11:00 P
 M\n\nSHOP CLASS | Vancouver Premiere\n\n In this animated short\, writer/
 director Hart Snider takes us back to junior high school in the late ’80
 s for a dark but funny coming-of-age story set in the era of the Walkman\,
  Pac-Man and Wayne Gretzky. Voiced by Vancouver actor Fred Ewanuick (Corne
 r Gas)\, Shop Class is an honest look at growing up\, exploring themes of 
 high-school alienation\, old-fashioned gender roles and becoming comfortab
 le in your own skin—through the eyes of a teenager who is no longer a bo
 y but is not quite sure what it means to be a man.\n\n 	 SUNDAY\, OCTOBER
  28 @ 10:45 AM\n\nAnimation Therapy with David Fine and Alison Snowden Mas
 ter Class (75 min)\n\nPresented by David Fine\, Alison Snowden\, and Micha
 el Fukushima\, Executive Producer\, NFB Animation Studio\n\nPart of the SP
 ARK ANIMATION Conference at ECUAD Reliance Theatre\n\n 	SUNDAY\, OCTOBER 2
 8 @ 3:30 PM\n\nTHE ZOO\n\nInspired by a real bear that once lived in Vanco
 uver’s Stanley Park\, The Zoo tells the story of a polar bear and a Chin
 ese boy who visits him until they’re both in their twilight years. 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.
