“Winnipeg D.I.Y.” presented by guest Mike Maryniuk, a filmmaker, cinematographer and film teacher from The Winnipeg Film Group.

Winnipeg artists emerge from their winter commas with a voracious appetite for filmmaking. Gorging themselves on spring’s bountiful images. Some filmmakers convert their bathtubs into film processing labs and bathe in the floodway for the summer months.
This program features a complete disregard for the conventions of traditional cinema, it is however some of the most entertaining, eye opening and imaginative cinema on the planet. Films created exclusively with a photocopier, letterset, the rants of cab driver, homemade talk shows and an obsession with Winnipeg’s inevitable brick buildings. (Mike Maryniuk)

an open source documentary about copyright and remix culture



 

Thu, May 14
REM Lee Theatre
7:00 pm

In RiP: A remix manifesto, Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers.
The film’s central protagonist is Girl Talk, a mash-up musician topping the charts with his sample-based songs. But is Girl Talk a paragon of people power or the Pied Piper of piracy? Creative Commons founder, Lawrence Lessig, Brazil’s Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow are also along for the ride.
A participatory media experiment, from day one, Brett shares his raw footage at opensourcecinema.org, for anyone to remix. This movie-as-mash-up method allows these remixes to become an integral part of the film. With RiP: A remix manifesto, Gaylor and Girl Talk sound an urgent alarm and draw the lines of battle.

A selection of short films from Planet in Focus Environmental Film Festival.

Admission by donation


 

These diverse short films focus on the variety of ways we interact with, relate to and affect the environment around us and in turn are affected by it. From the political, to the personal to the collective - from activist video, and probing documentary to poetic exploration, animation and portraiture - each film demonstrates a different aspect of our interconnectedness to each other and to the environment.

These films include selections from Planet In Focus Environmental Film Festival . Topics covered by these films include the melting of the glaciers, a community farm run by volunteers, how Independent Power Projects proposed by the BC government threaten our creeks and fresh water supply, uranium in the atmosphere and a Squamish healer in Vancouver who uses local urban in her medicines.

Howser in Peril 
Tom Prior, Dainty Deathy Productions
2007 7 min
The BC Government is poised to transfer public ownership rights to over 600 of its wild and scenic waterways. This could mean the building of hundreds of Independent Power Projects (IPPs) in watersheds throughout the province, without any adequate review of the environmental or community impacts.
"Howser in Peril" documents the efforts of a concerned local citizen who set out to explore the endangered Howser and Glacier Creek Valleys located in the Purcell Mountain Range north of Kaslo, BC. The idea of loosing this pristine region to a private corporation is now set to become a reality as this massive project is currently waiting for final approval.
Dainty Deathy Productions is a micro-media studio promoting activist documentaries and adventure based art films. Each of our productions work within an invisible budget with a non-traditional, visualist approach.

Colleen MacIsaac

2007 4:24 min.
Warming is a short animated film created in 2007 at Emily Carr Institute in Vancouver, BC, Canada. It was created as the thesis project for Colleen MacIsaac's undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Media Arts in Animation) over a period of 8 months after several months of preproduction.

The Vanishing Ice
Rachel Gauk
2005 21:20 min.
The planet heats up, glaciers and ice caps melt at an alarming rate, and fresh water supplies are in jeopardy. In The Vanishing Ice, Rachel Gauk, captures the function and magnificence of glaciers with stunning footage and interviews with several of the world’s water specialists, including activists, scientists and writers. This documentary explores how to solve the water crisis in the context of a rapidly globalizing world. (Planet in Focus catalogue)

City of Blind Alchemists
Ruben Guzman
2006  12:00 min.
A freestyle essay-documentary that explores uranium mining in Canada, the long-term effects of radiation and two different interpretations of time.
Canada is one of the largest producers of Uranium. Time takes us to two different places in the City of Blind Alchemists, an experimental essay film exploring the long-term effects of radiation.

You Are Here/We Are There
Erika MacPherson
2007 2:08 min
In Iceland, a landscape is being submerged under 57 square kilometers of water to create a reservoir for the purpose of providing hydroelectric power to a nearby Alcoa aluminum smelter. An irreversible transformation of a pristine wilderness creates a lingering sense of loss and displacement.
Erika MacPherson uses video and electronic media to investigate the intricate relationship of choice and chance. As a community activist, her artistic vision is to interpret the narrative inherent in the most profound determinants on survival - the environment as well as inter-relationships and concepts of co-creation. Her pieces have screened at festivals from the San Francisco Gay Lesbian to Transmediale in Berlin, as well as Vancouver International to the Edinburgh Fringe.

Indigenous Plant Diva
Directed by Kamala Todd
2008, 09 min 10 s
In the language of the Squamish Nation, Cease Wyss was given the name 'T'Uy'Tanat', meaning "Woman who travels by canoe to gather medicines for all people." In director Kamala Todd's lyrical portrait, Wyss reveals the remarkable healing powers of plants growing among the sprawling urban streets of downtown Vancouver.
Whether it's the secret curl of a fiddlehead, the gentleness of comfrey, or the blood red streaks of frog leaf, plants carry with them millennia of wisdom, communicated through colour, texture and form. Cease Wyss has been listening to this unspoken language, and is now passing this ancient and intimate sense of connection to her own daughter, Senaqwila.

-40 Degrees Celsius
Paul Davis
2007 14 mins. (Beta)
It is -40 degrees and pitch dark in a small subarctic town. The phone rings. You bike to work up hill 9 km in temperatures where steel cracks.
Paul Davis is a consummate story teller who just recently arrived on the French Canadian TV market with films on Radio Canada’s Ça Vaut le Detour and the Tromso International film Festival. A bilingual cinéaste, writer, actor he does his own stunts -40C is his first film.
http://www.planetinfocus.org/festival/40-degrees-celsius
-40C was shot in -41C temperatures with a 2 person crew, one of whom was also the narrator, director and stunt guy. The production used only one SUV as a crew transfer vehicle. The interior shots were all done in hydro-heated houses which are naturally carbon neutral. The film was edited in a hydro-heated environment and the crew relied on bikes and foot to get to and from set. Electricity from the production was 100% hydro.

Surfing the Waste
Paul Aflalo
2006   19:00 min.
Follow a group of dumpster divers on a musical journey through the back alleys of Montreal. Between song and dance routines about waste and the joys of reusing other people's garbage, five young adults discuss the philosophy of living off society's excess. Going through other people's garbage provides these young Montrealers with food, furniture, clothing and luxury items they could never afford if they had to buy them.

The Sharing Farm
Michael Gazetas/Keith Berhman/Mary Gazetas
2007 14 min.
What began as a project to collect surplus fruit going to waste in Richmond, BC and distribute it to the poor has grown to an inspiring community movement that helps the poor and aids food security. Started by a small group of determined volunteers, the Richmond Fruit Tree Sharing Project has grown to include a community garden and greenhouse on some agricultural land that wasn’t being used. After its inception by a small group of grandmothers, it wasn’t long before the success of this project expanded to include other members in the community, including an agrologist and an elementary school teacher and his class. The Terra Nova School Yard project sees elementary school students working in this community garden and learning about nature, food and food security as well as nurturing the values of community service in these young citizens of the future.

RECYCLED CINEMA
Friday, March 27th
Elephant Ear Bistro

6:30 pm Make Your Own Recycled Film
7:30 pm Screening


Filmmakers reclaim footage from Hollywood and TV to create a new, recycled cinema.

 

Some filmmakers re-use Hollywood images (contemporary and historical) to tell personal stories, others re-frame the mass media to comment on our culture or question the assumptions contained in “the Movies,” on TV or even in NHL Hockey!

Please join us early for your chance to “re-use” film footage found here in Terrace. You can draw, scratch directly onto 16mm film then watch it projected

Alone. Life Wastes Andy Hardy
Martin Arnold
Austrian filmmaker Martin Arnold manages to expose the underlying psychological/sexual tension in the Andy Hardy film series which was made from 1937-1958, starring Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney.

Imitation of Life
Mike Hoolboom
“Hoolboom pillages all of cinema for this epic meta-science fiction, in which the future and the present are conceived, first, as an endless parade of images. Science fiction as a realm of displaced fears and dreams, a place to imagine a future that’s already here.” -Chris Gehman, Images Festival

Le Bombardment Le Porte des Perles
Richard Kerr
A reworking of the trailer for the movie Pearl Harbor, using both handmade and digital techniques. Formally, Le Bombardement le Port des Perles explores collage and found sound as voice-over.

When Canadians Attack
Brett Kashmere
“The gloves are off in this experimental documentary exploring the paradoxical relationship between hockey violence, Canadian identity, and the theories of Roland Barthes.” -Worldwide Short Film Festival catalogue

 

Supposed To
Aleesa Cohen
Re-editing sampled footage and dialogue from science fiction films, thrillers and corporate training videos, Cohen builds a hybrid narrative of characters, exhausted by work, acting out, escaping conflict and ultimately returning to a wordless knowledge that shapes our shared reality.

The Curse of the Voodoo Child
Steven Woloshen
Using found footage from a 1970s melodrama and the Jimi Hendrix song, the filmmaker expresses the carnality, fear and anticipation that preceeded the birth of his first born child.

Very Nice, Very Nice
Arthur Lipsett
Using film footage ‘found’ in the editing suites of the National Film Board, it looks behind the business-as-usual face we put on life and shows anxieties we want to forget.

Stalker
Cara Morton
The filmmaker has a recurring dream that she is stuck in a movie with Julia Roberts. In this ironic, domestic thriller Julia Roberts is literally stalked by the filmmaker who has cleaved herself into the Hollywood movie.

Shutter 2 Think's "Animated Canadians" programme highlights a unique selection of recent short films by independent Canadian animators. Presented by visiting filmmaker and Toronto International Film Festival curator Alex Rogalski, this selection of new animated shorts demonstrates the wide variety of form and content at play in animated cinema today.

The "Animated Canadians" programme showcases diversity in form, content and imagination. From classical stop motion animation to rotoscoping, watercolour cell animation to computer generated imaging, each film applies its chosen method to maximum effect, telling Canadian tales that would be impossible to share in another other cinematic form.

After the show Alex will be happy to share his knowledge of animation with you and there will be music provided by local DJ Andrew Bellman.

A filmmaking workshop for youth age 13 – 25


Description:  Digital storytelling is an approach to filmmaking that doesn’t involve shooting video, but instead uses still (unmoving) images (e.g. photos, drawings, collages etc) to tell a story, much like a comic book or a “graphic novel”.  Still images are organized into a storyboard, (a sequence of images that illustrate a story) which is then scanned, image-by-image into the computer and edited into a film.

During this 7-day workshop, participants will create a storyboard using drawings, photographs, collages, etc and then transform their storyboard into a movie. To complete their films, participants will use the simple “iMovie” film-editing program to edit, add sound, voice and text.

There is no cost for the workshop except for a $50 insurance fee.  Computers and all necessary equipment will be provided. Lunch is also provided. 

When: Workshop runs from Dec 16 – Dec 22 at the Terrace NWCC campus.  There are 10 positions available.

How to Apply: Those interested are asked to submit a 1 – 2 page explanation of WHY they would like to take the course and/or they can submit a STORY IDEA that they would like to work on. These submissions can be either written or drawn or both.
Please phone Cara at 250 638-7268 or email for full information. Please apply by November 30, 2008.
