CLASSICS FROM THE NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA
Like most Government sponsored film organisations, the NFBC began as a
propaganda unit for WW2. Under the direction of John Grierson, formerly
of the UK's GPO Film Unit, it soon evolved into a hot-bed of film talent
specialising in animation and documentaries. 23 Skidoo 9min/1964 Dir:
Julian Biggs. Montreal is observed without a living soul. Mindscape
8mins/1976 Dir: Jacques Drouin. Mus: Jean Denis Larochelle. An artist
steps into the landscape he has painted. A mind-boggling masterpiece of
pinboard animation. Toys 8mins/1966 Dir: Grant Munro. Children's war
toys come to life in a shop window at Christmas. Nahanni 15mins/1962
Dir: Donald Wilder. A tribute to the perseverance and folly of an old
Canadian gold prospector.. 21-87 9mins/1964 Dir: Arthur Lipsett. This
impressionistic montage of images and everyday sounds shows the
individual reduced to the anonymity of a number. The inspiration for
George Lucas' THX-1138. Ryan 14mins/2004 Dir: Chris Landreth. An
animated tribute to Ryan Larkin, a former award-winning animator of the
sixties who now begs for change on the streets of Montreal. Winner of
the 2005 Academy Award for Best Short Animation. The Eye Hears, the Ear
Sees 59mins/1970 Dir: Gavin Millar. This documentary explores the work
of animator Norman McLaren. Many of McClaren's shorts are presented in

ROBERT TODD: SELECTED WORKS
Robert Todd's visually stunning films are not easily defined or
categorized. His ideas are culled from an introspective place that is
quiet, thoughtful, and curious. Todd's films take a variety of poetic
approaches to looking at the personal, political and social ways we
choose to live. His current work examines some of the darker material
within our social fabrics, focusing on the institution of the death
penalty in American culture. Todd's films have screened internationally
at film festivals such as Rotterdam, New York, London, Images (Toronto),
Onion City, Athens, Impakt, Media City, CinemaTexas, Chicago, Seattle
Underground, New York Underground, Black Maria, and SlamDance (among
others). His films have won awards at the Zinebi (Bilbao), Humboldt,
FLEX, Ohio Independent, New England, Iowa City, and Microcine film
festivals. Todd has been working as a teacher and an editor in the
Boston area since 1985. www.roberttoddfilms.com ROBERT TODD: SELECTED

groups of 400 alternating frames. FABLE: I WANT THE WORLD, CLEAN (1999,
15:30, 16mm): Musing on the violence we do to the world and the attempts
to rid our history of impurity, this tale centers around a family's
house passed down through 5 generations. FISHERMAN (1998, 6:00, 16mm):
Our romantic image of fishing is put to the test in this saga aboard
"The Osprey". HAPPY, PEPPY, SPARKY DOGGY (2002, 2:30, 16mm): The
All-American Woofer Spreads Sheer Delight! FLOWERGIRLS (2004, 14:00,

during, and after weddings that take place in the same church nearly
thirty years apart. OUR FORMER GLORY (2002, 9:00, 16mm): A fantasy
taking its cue from reliquary objects left to rot along the Brooklyn
Promenade, overlooking the site of the former World Trade Center Towers.

Watchmaker. STABLE (2003, 7:00, 16mm): A New England farm: back and

OPEN SCREENING AND POTLUCK DINNER
Come and feast you eyes and taste buds at our combo Potluck Dinner and
Open Screening (or, based on our 4-hour marathon open screening last
time, perhaps gorge is more accurate than feast!). Come to show work or
just to watch - in either case bring a food item to share (don't
everyone bring chips!). Hot or cold covered dishes or desserts are what
we have in mind. Items with chocolate are particularly welcome. The
Potluck will start at 6pm; the screening at 7pm. We'll show whatever
comes in the door (except x-rated stuff, sorry!). Accepted formats:
Mini-DV, DVD, VHS, and 16mm. Recommended maximum length is 15 minutes,
but we'll try to accommodate everything, no matter how long. Free raffle
for "prizes"! Admission is free.
