SUMMARY:NFB Film Series: Becoming Labrador
DESCRIPTION:Rohan Fernando\, Tamara Segura\, Justin Simms\n2018 | 70 min\n(In English and Filipino with English subtitles) \nIn the stark Labrador interior\, a growing number of Filipino workers have recently landed in the small regional hub of Happy Valley-Goose Bay\, travelling halfway around the world for jobs they hope will offer their families new opportunities and a better life. Becoming Labrador follows a handful of those women and men as they make a place for themselves in Labrador’s profoundly foreign climate and culture\, and deal with the unexpected costs of living far from parents\, partners and children. \nCombining documentary footage with interpretive animation\, and bringing together the vision of three of Canada’s best young directors\, Becoming Labrador is a remarkable feat of collaborative authorship. It offers an intimate account of the radical mobility and displacement of the modern world\, and of how tenaciously people hold to their roots in the midst of fundamental change. Celebrating the ties that motivate and sustain the Filipino workers and their families\, it also reveals a subtler love affair\, as people from a tropical country find themselves falling for the North. \n

SUMMARY:Blue Christmas & Celebrate a Life
DESCRIPTION:The holiday season can be especially challenging for those who have lost a loved one\, or who are experiencing other hardships such as a broken relationship\, loss of employment\, or failing health. Situations like these can be a stark contrast to jingling bells\, festive lights\, and themes of togetherness so prevalent during the holiday season.\nBlue Christmas & Celebrate a Life is an annual non-denominational gathering that offers a gentle time of comfort\, reflection\, and a program of music and special readings. It is also an opportunity to celebrate a life and to honour the memory of loved ones no longer with us. Co-hosted by Comox Valley Hospice Society and Comox United Church. \n

SUMMARY:NFB Film Series: Wall
DESCRIPTION:Cam Christiansen\n2017 | 82 min 31 s \nWALL is a feature-length animated film written by and starring playwright and two-time Academy Award® nominee for screenwriting (The Hours\, The Reader) David Hare\, whom The Washington Post referred to as “the premiere political dramatist writing in English.” Hare’s body of work spans 35 years and deftly explores socio-political issues at home and abroad. The 80-minute film follows Hare on a trip to the Middle East to examine the impact the wall separating Israel and Palestine has had on the people of the region. \nUsing advanced animation tools and 3D motion-capture footage\, filmmaker Cam Christiansen employs a distinctive handcrafted approach that conveys the reality of the 708-kilometre barrier as no film has before. Rich with rhythmic\, raw imagery\, WALL explores the “fence” that has forever united\, divided and changed communities\, while brilliantly capturing the emotions surrounding this massive reminder of unrest. \nRevealing and passionate insights from renowned Israeli novelist David Grossman\, Professor Neill Lochery of London University\, Professor Sari Nusseibeh of Al-Quds University\, and Ramallah-based attorney Raja Shehadeh are all framed by Hare’s journey\, as both his heart and mind are shaken by the incongruities and contradictions of life in the shadow of the wall. \nWALL is a National Film Board of Canada production\, produced by David Christensen and Bonnie Thompson. \n

SUMMARY:NFB Film Series: High Wire
DESCRIPTION:Claude Guilmain\n2019 | 82 mins\n(In English and French with English subtitles) \nIn March 2003\, the United States and a coalition of allies invaded Iraq\, in the name of democracy and to avenge the attacks of September 11\, 2001. This illegal intervention caused the downfall of Saddam Hussein\, led to chaos in the region\, and opened a Pandora’s box of evils whose disastrous consequences are still being felt throughout the Middle East. Canada declined to follow the Bush administration into the bloody conflict. \nNow\, providing a much-needed historical perspective\, Claude Guilmain’s High Wire takes us behind the scenes to shine a light on this poorly understood episode\, while denouncing the interventionist approach to foreign policy taken by the United States after the end of World War II. Featuring accounts from several key players\, the film reminds us of the terrible price we pay when diplomacy fails. \n

SUMMARY:NFB Film Series: Animated Shorts
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This is a program of animated shorts targeted at adults. Children are welcome to attend with an adult\, but parents should know that these are not films made for children. \nI’m OK\nELIZABETH HOBBS | 2018 | 6 MIN (NO DIALOGUE) \nIt’s 1915\, and when Expressionist artist Oskar Kokoschka’s tempestuous love affair with Alma Mahler ends dramatically\, he volunteers to fight in the First World War. This animated film explores Kokoschka’s frame of mind following his heartbreak and the traumatic experience of war\, by reflecting on the artist’s prints and paintings. \nAnimal Behaviour\nALISON SNOWDEN\, DAVID FINE | 2018 | 14 MIN 24 S \nDealing with what comes naturally isn’t easy\, especially for animals. In the latest animated short from the Oscar®-winning team of Alison Snowden and David Fine (Bob’s Birthday)\, five animals meet regularly to discuss their inner angst in a group therapy session led by Dr. Clement\, a canine psychotherapist. \nBone Mother\nDALE HAYWARD\, SYLVIE TROUVÉ | 2018 | 8 MIN 21 S \nWho dares to disturb the devil’s grandmother and enter her slumbering house of bones? Who is foolish enough to betray this immortal nature-spirit? Baba Yaga holds the answers you need\, but are they the answers you seek? Tread carefully\, for your ambitious schemes could come back to haunt you… \nThe Zoo\nJULIA KWAN | 2018 | 11 MIN 48 S (NO DIALOGUE) \nInspired by a real bear that once lived in Vancouver’s Stanley Park\, The Zoo tells the story of a polar bear and a Chinese boy who visits him until they’re both in their twilight years. Acclaimed filmmaker Julia Kwan adeptly makes a poignant statement about gentrification and abandonment of the elderly\, and leaves us with the notion that perhaps home can be found within. \nManivald\nCHINTIS LUNDGREN | 2017 | 12 MIN 54 S \nManivald\, a fox\, is turning 33. Overeducated\, unemployed and generally uninspired\, he lives with his overbearing\, retired mother and spends his days learning piano while she makes his coffee and washes his socks. It is an easy life\, but not a good one. Their unhealthy co-dependence is about to collapse when the washing machine breaks down and in comes Toomas\, a sexy and adventurous wolf repairman\, to fix it\, and them. \nTinged with typically absurdist Estonian humour\, and featuring animator Chintis Lundgren’s faulty but loveable anthropomorphic characters\, Manivald mixes the surreal and the heartfelt in its timely tale of an emotionally unnourished generation. The film pokes fun at the loving but sometimes unhealthy ties that bind parents and children\, while celebrating the liberties of independence\, self-discovery and growth. \n
