FREE!

Class Limit: 20

Once a film has completed its festival run and been streamed on YouTube, filmmakers are often unsure what to do with the film to ensure its long term preservation. Due to the unstable nature of digital records and the ever changing landscape of technology, if filmmakers are not proactive in preservation valuable information may be lost. The Provincial Archives of New Brunswick is mandated “to discover, collect and preserve records having any bearing upon the history of New Brunswick” (Archives Act) and is currently working with the NBFC to ensure the history independent film community is preserved and made available for researchers for years to come.

At this session, you will learn about how the Archives works, how you can donate materials, what sort of materials you can donate, and how you can receive a tax receipt for your donations. Also learn about copyright laws, your right to privacy, retaining ownership of your film after making a donation, and ask any questions you may have on the process. You will also be given a short tour of the Archives including the Audio/Visual Lab, the Conservation Lab, and the Repository where the records are stored.

We will also be screening some Film Co-op short films currently stored in the PANB vault including The Vacationers, The Man Who Skied Citadel Hill, and Smoke.

HOST BIOGRAPHY

Joanna Aiton Kerr is the Manager of Services and Private Sector Records at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick. A graduate of the Masters of Archival Studies program at the University of British Columbia, Joanna has held various positions in the archives field, including Congregational Archivist for the Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul in Halifax, and University Records Manager for the University of New Brunswick. She is the past-president of the Council of Archives New Brunswick. Joanna lives in Fredericton with her husband, two daughters, two dogs and a cat. 

Established in 1967, the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick collects and preserves the documents of the people, institutions and government of the province. Most of the holdings are for the period from 1784, when New Brunswick was made a separate province of British North America. However, some materials relating to the earlier exploration, Acadian and pre-Loyalist periods have also been acquired. Under provincial legislation the Archives has responsibility to assemble, and to make available for research, records bearing upon the history of New Brunswick. The Records Management Program ensures the regular transfer and archival retention of all non-current government records that have permanent legal and historical value. The records of individuals, churches, businesses and associations are acquired through donation of original material, and loans for copying. The documents in the Archives are provincial treasures. Many are fundamental in protecting the rights and interests of the people, or are essential for understanding and preserving our heritage and culture. Materials which are not in archives, particularly those in danger of being lost or destroyed, should be brought to the attention of the Archives staff.

POP AYE

Kirsten Tan

Thailand, Singapore, 2017

Thai

104 minutes

Principal Cast: Thaneth Warakulnukroh, Penpak Sirikul, Bong

On a chance encounter, a disenchanted architect bumps into his long-lost elephant on the streets of Bangkok. Excited, he takes his elephant on a journey across Thailand, in search of the farm where they grew up together.

Pop Aye is a 2017 Singaporean-Thai drama film directed by Kirsten Tan. A debut feature by Tan, the road film tells the story of a man as he tries to take his long-lost elephant back to their rural hometown. The first Singaporean film selected to screen at the Sundance, it competed and won a Special Jury Prize in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition section of the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.

Thana (Thaneth Warakulnukroh), a middle-aged architect, is disillusioned at work as well as at home with his wife Bo (Penpak Sirikul). One day, as he wanders the Bangkok city, he chances upon an elephant which turns out to be his childhood companion, Pop Aye. He then decides to take the elephant back to the rural village where they grew up together and into his uncle Peak's (Narong Pongpab) care. Thus, they embark on their homecoming journey through the rural Thailand to their hometown in Loei Province, Isan.

"That’s what makes “Pop Aye” the thinking person’s feel-good film of the summer: much is communicated nonverbally (or, at most, with sparse dialogue)." Christopher Kompanek, Washington Post

September 27, 7:00pm - RUMBLE

This revelatory documentary brings to light the profound and overlooked influence of Indigenous people on popular music in North America. Focusing on music icons like Link Wray, Jimi Hendrix, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Taboo (The Black Eyed Peas), Charley Patton, Mildred Bailey, Jesse Ed Davis, Robbie Robertson, and Randy Castillo, RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World shows how these pioneering Native American musicians helped shape the soundtracks of our lives.

The idea for RUMBLE came about when guitarist Stevie Salas, an Apache Indian and one of the film's Executive Producers, realized that no one outside of the music business knew about the profound contribution of these Native musicians. Renewed attention to this missing chapter in the history of American music led to the publishing of Brian Wright-McLeod’s The Encyclopedia of Native Music, an exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, and eventually this documentary

October 25, 7:00 pm - LOVING VINCENT

This feature-length painted animation -- the first film of its kind -- explores the life and unusual death of Vincent Van Gogh via depictions of his artworks.

The tragic story of beloved Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh (Robert Gulaczyk). On July 27, 1890, his gaunt figure stumbled down a quiet street at twilight in the small French country town of Auvers, where he lived. His hands were pressing on a fresh bullet wound leaking blood from his belly. Vincent, at the time a little known but prolific artist, was in trouble.

This movie tells his story up to that point, including his struggles with insomnia, mental illness, depression, malnutrition and alcoholism. It also delves into the mystery behind his death.

Looking forward to another great season!

"for the love of film..."
