As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES programming, the Old Post Office of Idea Exchange will present Unarchived.

Unarchived (Hayley Gray, Elad Tzadok | 2022 | 1 h 24 m)

“The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” – William Faulkner

In the feature documentary Unarchived, co-directors Hayley Gray and Elad Tzadok highlight community archives across British Columbia to reveal some of what has been erased from the official record. Local knowledge keepers are hand-fashioning a more inclusive history through family photos, newspaper articles and scratchy old VHS tapes. These different collections tell stories of people building connection through work, play, protest, family and tradition.

Through a collage of personal interviews, archival footage and deeply rooted memories, the past, present and future come together, fighting for a space where everyone is seen and everyone belongs. History is what we all make of it.
