SUMMARY:Canadian Labour International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Mayworks Kjipuktuk/Halifax Festival of Working People in the Arts is proud to partner once again with the Canadian Labour International Film Festival for a satellite screening of films from their 15th annual festival.\n\nThe screening takes place November 10\, 7:30 PM\, at the Bus Stop Theatre Co-op.\n\nThis year\, we will be screening Bergie (South Africa) by Dian Weys\, Shiringa: Amazon White Gold (Peru) by Oscar Akamine\, Lentejas (Spain) by José A. Campos\, HongKongers:A Re-Collection – My Destiny or My Choice? (UK) by Green Bean Media\, Allegory (Spain) by Tino Fernández\, Puanum (Dream) (Canada) by Josée Benjamin\, and Serigne (Spain) by Rodrigo Hernandez Tejero\, Adriana Cardoso Navarro\, & Edu Marin.\nAll films are translated as needed through subtitles in English.\n\nTotal run time: 87 minutes. The screening will be followed by a moderated discussion for those interested.\n\nAdmission is by donation.\n\n\n\nTHE FILMS:\n\nBergie (South Africa) by Dian Weys (7 min)\nThe term “bergie” is a South Africanism that refers to people that are homeless. This short film presents the viewer with a problem – a law enforcement officer has to remove homeless people sleeping on a path in the city in order to make way for a 10km fun-run. To do this\, he has to wrestle with fundamental questions about the dignity of human life. Language: English & Afrikaans.\n\n\n\n\nShiringa: Amazon White Gold (Peru) by Oscar Akamine (9 min)\nThis documentary follows Jorge Escompani\, a “Shiringa” master\, as he shows us how he extracts natural latex from the Shiringa tree. The extraction of latex from the Shiringa tree has led to the death of thousands of indigenous people due to slavery during “the fever of latex” in the 19th century. Current practices reflect a respectful relationship between the trees and those who depend on it for survival. Language: English & Spanish.\n\n\n\n\nLentejas (Spain) by José A. Campos (8 min)\nA humorous look at the gig economy and what work is like right now for many white collar workers who have to hustle for every contract and need multiple contracts to make a living. Workers can be anywhere – it just depends on the backdrop\, and how long you can hold the illusion together.  “Lentils (Lentejas): if you want\, eat them; if you don’t\, leave them.” Language: Spanish.\n\n\n\n\nHongKongers:A Re-Collection – My Destiny or My Choice? (UK) by Green Bean Media (18 min)\nThis documentary follows the experience of Siu Tat MUNG\, who was a leader in the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (HKCTU)\, as he recounts his experiences during the last few years it was in existence. HKCTU members voted to disband the union on October 3\, 2021\, following pro-democracy protests in 2019-2020. At least 29 Hong Kong trade unions were dissolved throughout 2021. Siu Tat Mung explains the conditions in Hong Kong and the reasons for asking his family to relocate to Great Britain. Through his story we are able to experience the difficult situation evolving for Trade Unionists and others working in Hong Kong in 2021. Language: Cantonese.\n\n\n\n\nAllegory (Spain) by Tino Fernández (13 min)\nTen participants are about to start a race in which the most important thing is not to win\, but to arrive\, in the race of their lives. This film is an allegory for the working class about class struggle and life. It raises good questions through its poetic approach about what life is all about. Language: Spanish.\n\n\n\n\nPuanum (Dream) (Canada) by Josée Benjamin (5 min)\nThis short documentary\, directed by an Innu filmmaker\, features Jordan\, a young french speaking\, indigenous fisherman. As we spend a typical day on his boat fishing for whelk\, he tells us the story of his journey towards becoming the captain of a fishing boat. Language: French.\n\n\n\n\n\nSerigne (Spain) by Rodrigo Hernandez Tejero\, Adriana Cardoso Navarro\, & Edu Marin. (27 min)\nIn this extraordinary documentary\, we follow Serigne Mbay\, a politician\, and his inspirational story\, as he works to educate his fellow citizens and politicians about the effects of current European fishing trade agreements on his home country of Senegal. The landscapes and the portraits of the people in this film are breathtakingly beautiful. Language: Spanish.

SUMMARY:A More Radiant Sphere
DESCRIPTION:By Sara Wylie\nPresented in partnership with Carbon Arc Cinema\n \nThursday\, May 18th @ 6:30pm \nLocation: Bus Stop Theatre Co-op (2203 Gottingen St) \nDuration: 40 mins followed by a 30 mins Q&A with filmmaker Sara Wylie moderated by MLA Gary Burrill [CC][ASL] \nTickets: $5/$10/$15 (Pay what you can) \nBUY TICKETS HERE\n \n[CC] This film will be closed captioned. \n[ASL] ASL Interpretation will be provided for the Q&A portion of the event. \nA mid-length hybrid documentary about Joe Wallace: Canadian Communist poet\, political prisoner\, and the filmmaker’’s long lost family member. Shot on 16mm and digital\, featuring original songs by award-winning musician Fiver/Simone Schmidt. \n“Poetry is of a higher order. It sets bells ringing in the mind of the reader so that he makes his own music …” \n \nNearly lost in the annals of Canadian history\, the writings of Joe Wallace—radical believer in socialist ideals\, writer of anti-capitalist verses\, and survivor of detainment by the Canadian government—have been revived by his great-great-niece\, director Sara Wylie. \nSearching through library archives\, family records\, and footage from the early decades of the Canadian settler state\, Wylie assembles the story of Wallace the poet and revolutionary. “The more I began looking for him\, the more I began to see parts of myself reflected\,” she says. His poems are spirited\, forthright and folksy; they recall a time of great political change and opportunity. \nInextricable from Wallace’s life and work is the history of Canada’s labour movement and the increasing involvement of the state in its disruption. A More Radiant Sphere captures a time and a feeling at risk of being erased by Canadian myth\, when the possibility of a world beyond capitalism surged forth into poetry. (Written by Sarah Bakke) \nThe film will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Sara Wylie moderated by Gary Burril\, MLA for Halifax Chebucto \n \nFilm Credits: \nDirected\, produced and written by Sara Wylie\nFeaturing Bruce Wallace \nMusic by Simone Schmidt\nWith Nick Dourado on piano\nNathan Doucet on percussion\nJohn Showman on fiddle \nCinematography by Suz Friesen and Sara Wylie\nSound recording by Kellen Jackson and Sara Wylie\nSound mix/edit by Michelle Hwu and Tim Atkins\nColour by Sam Gilling

SUMMARY:Canadian Labour International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Mayworks Kjipuktuk/Halifax Festival of Working People in the Arts is proud to partner once again with the Canadian Labour International Film Festival for a satellite screening of films from their 16th annual festival.\n\nThe screening takes place November 17\, 2022\, at the Bus Stop Theatre Co-op.\n\nThis year we are screening If There is No Struggle (United States) by Jared Katriane\, See Us Come Together (Philippines) by Alyssa Suico\, What Will I Show You? (Canada) by Elie-John Joseph\, Opera Trans*formed (Canada) by Leah Borts-Kuperman & Maria Sarrouh\, The Unmaking of Medical Inadmissibility (Canada) by Laura Bisaillon\, & Kellys (Spain) by Javier Fesser.\n\nThe screening lasts 62 minutes.\n\nAdmission by donation.\n\n\n\nOnline Viewing\nOnline streaming is available on demand. A streaming link will be emailed to anyone sending a PWYC donation by e-transfer to info@mayworkskjipuktukhfx.ca\n\nAs of November 17th at 7:30 PM\, you’ll have 2 hours to start watching. Once you begin\, you’ll have 48 hours to finish watching.\n\n\n\nTHE FILMS:\n\nIf There is No Struggle (United States) by Jared Katriane\nA young woman discovers the working class history of her neighbourhood through the lens of a 1965 Canon Scoopic 16mm camera and historical figures via Boston’s public art. She begins an important conversation that needs to continue in the labour movement given the overwhelming right wing ideology and misinformation being spread targeting working class folks.\nThe film title comes from an 1857 Frederick Douglass speech: “If there is no struggle\, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom\, and yet depreciate agitation\, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”\n\n\n\n\nSee Us Come Together (Philippines) by Alyssa Suico\nSee Us Come Together is an amateur documentary following the members of the Optodev Workers Union\, tracing their story of forming their union before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.\nWhen factories were forced to close operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020\, an ophthalmic lens workers’ union ensured mechanisms to protect their workers\, with the ultimate goal of changing the culture of labour in their factory. The documentary brings to focus what is essential to keep a country running in times of crisis. While the pandemic turned the spotlight on essential and frontline workers\, what was essential to the workers of Optodev was their union.\nSubtitled in ENGLISH\n\n\n\n\nWhat Will I Show You? (Canada) by Elie-John Joseph\nIn the tradition of direct cinema\, What Will I Show You is an intimate documentary in which a grandfather and his grandson discuss the past and future of Innu culture. An important\, first-person film telling the stories of Innu and their culture\, their work\, and the immediate impacts of environmental degradation on their lands.\nThemes of Indigenous learning\, work and way of life. From the Innu nation and residing in the Tiohtià:ke territory since 2006\, Elie-John Joseph has been passionate about cinema since a young age. Self-taught\, he has been practising film photography for several years.\n\n\n\n\nOpera Trans*formed (Canada) by Leah Borts-Kuperman & Maria Sarrouh\n“If I wasn’t an opera singer\, would I be a trans man?” asks Teiya Kasahara\, a gender non-binary singer\, partway through the film. It’s a dilemma facing gender non-binary and trans singers working in a field whose roles are rigidly defined along gender lines: sopranos and mezzos are cast as women (so-called “trouser roles” aside); tenors and basses as men.\nTeiya Kasahara (they/them) leads a new generation of trans* opera performers\, activists and self-proclaimed “shit-disturbers” making their voices heard–whether the classical music world likes it or not.\n\n\n\n\nThe Unmaking of Medical Inadmissibility (Canada) by Laura Bisaillon\nHave you ever considered the amount of work it takes to immigrate to Canada? Applying to immigrate is a form of labour: it requires time\, effort\, intention\, skill and money. This film about immigration application work tells the stories of Martha\, Winnie and Stella. As prospective immigrants to Canada\, they are tagged as being “abnormal” (to use the state’s term) through the immigration medical examination and therefore face higher barriers and discrimination during the immigration process.\nThemes include the criminalization of HIV\, and a critical look at the idea of “good immigrants.”\n\n\n\n\nKellys (Spain) by Javier Fesser\nIn this high quality short\, we glimpse a private conversation between two long-time hotel workers and close friends. But there are always things that are hidden\, even from your best friend.\nSubtitled in ENGLISH

SUMMARY:The Work We Do: An Animation Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:Online stream at www.anifx.ca until May 15th \nTickets to Online Screening at www.anifx.ca\nPresented in partnership with the Animation Festival of Halifax (AFX) \nCraft. Labour. Practice. Drudgery. Vocation. We work every day\, sometimes with joy and a sense of fulfillment\, sometimes with loathing and a sense of alienation. We labour for pay\, for free\, or for barter; we exert ourselves for overlords\, for ourselves\, or for our communities. These animated films from across the country and across the decades reflect on the ups and downs of our experiences as beings who toil and strive. And what medium could be more fitting than the labour-intensive delight of animation? \nTotal running time: 65 minutes. \n  \n \n \n\nSeeing Her (Lindsay McIntyre\, 2020) 3:30 \nWe begin with Lindsay McIntyre’s homage to the skill and love of work her great-grandmother\ndid on her amauti\, animated through Super-16 cinematography. \n\nGet a Job! (Brad Caslour\, 1985) 10:30 \nWith a turn to the ironic\, this 1980’s classic is an ironic riff on classic cartoons\, peppered with pop culture references. \n\nCurtailment of Civilian Industries (Philip Ragan\, 1943) 2:00 \nFrom the vaults: World War II propaganda paints a picture of labour and consumerism. \n\nYou Are Pretty Much On Your Own… The Two Disasters of Homelessness and The Pandemic ( Jeff Karabanow\, Katrin Doll\, Catherine Levitan-Reid\, Jean Hughes and Haorui Wu\, 2021) 7:45 \nResearchers team up with Animator Shannon Long to create an animated short  exploring the homelessness sector in two Nova Scotian communities during the early phases of COVID. It is based on the SSHRC-funded 2021 study entitled “COVID-19  and Homelessness: Promoting Disaster Preparedness\, Response\, and Recovery in Two Communities in Nova Scotia” by Jeff  Karabanow\, Kaitrin Doll\, Catherine Levitan-Reid\, Jean Hughes and Haorui Wu. \n\nThe Housewife (Cathy Bennett\, 1975) 6:00 \nThe Housewife provides a 1970’s look a “women’s” work and a quiet celebration of the women who do it. \n\nBistro Girls (Jenna Marks\, 2020) 5:00 \nJenna Marks’s stop-motion animation brings out the sparkle of documentary interviews with Zoe Leger and Foxy Roxy as they reflect on their work as performers. \n\nMacpherson (Martine Chartrand\, 2012) 11:00 \nMartine Chartrand’s exquisite paint-on-glass animation celebrates a range of work and labourers in this true story of Frank Randolph Macpherson\, a Jamaican chemical engineer working in the pulp and paper industry\, who inspired Félix Leclerc to write his song about the log drives. \n\nBiidaaban (The Dawn Comes) (Amanda Strong\, 2017) 19:15 \nIndigenous people have harvested sap for thousands of years. In Biidaaban\, a young genderfluid person and a shape-shifter continue this work in an urban setting. \n\nDOWNLOAD OUR PROGRAM APP FOR ALL EVENT  DETAILS & UPDATES\n   \n

SUMMARY:Honour Your Word
DESCRIPTION:A documentary film by Martha Stiegman\nPresented in partnership with Halifax Public Libraries\nMarylynn Poucachiche and Norman Matchewan faced tear gas and police batons when they joined their parents on the barricades to defend their traditional territory in the 1980s. Little did they realize they would be on the barricades over 20 years later\, this time with their own young children at their sides. \nHonour Your Word is an intimate portrait of life behind the barricades for the Algonquins of Barriere Lake\, an inspiring First Nation whose dignity and courage contrast sharply with the political injustice they face. \nPlease note: The film (60mins) will be preceded by an opening ceremony for the Mayworks Halifax Festival offered by the All Nations Drummers\, and followed by a brief Q&A with filmmaker Martha Stiegman. \n  \n  \n \n
