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

On spaceship earth\, energy is neither created nor destroyed\, it simply changes form. This is true for individuals that make up Superfluid Collective. Ranging from Bengali\, Iranian\, Pubjabi M’ikMa’ki\, English\, Irish and Canadian backgrounds\, the group has come together through a shared thirst for Olands and basement jams. The group’s experience of immigration is paralleled by their vagabond work ethic\, moving between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick for shows. A quintessential festival band\, Superfluid is best experienced live. \nShuvanjan Karmaker – Founder/Bass\nPaige Bailey – Piano\nSerkan Suer – Drums\nSeth Voliere – Guitar\nJames Shaw – Saxophone\nMathew Marshall – Trombone\nMatt Myers – Trumpet \nWeb: https://www.superfluidmusic.com/ \n\nDOWNLOAD OUR PROGRAM APP FOR ALL EVENT  DETAILS & UPDATES\n   \n

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:TOIL HERE
DESCRIPTION:Works From Rural Mi’kma’ki\n\nPresented in partnership with the Khyber Centre for the Arts\n \n\nDOWNLOAD OUR PROGRAM APP FOR ALL EVENT & TICKET UPDATES\n   \n\nTOIL HERE is a group exhibition and curatorial collaboration between the Mayworks Kjipuktuk/Halifax Festival and the Khyber Centre for the Arts. Featured in this exhibition are works by artists Alex Antle\, Antoinette Karuna\, Clara Gough\, Curtis Botham\, Heather Cromwell\, Kim Cain\, and Michelle Roy\, as well as by Mi’kmaq water protectors Cathy Martin\, Gnat Na’pi\, and Darlene Gilbert. Using the languages of traditional domestic craft and fine art\, the artists explore different facets of rural life\, labour and justice\, and together disrupt stereotypical notions of what rural “Maritime” art can be and speak to. \nA video tour of TOIL HERE will be released at a later date as a complement to the exhibition. The video will contain captioned interviews with each of the artists. \n\nVIDEO TOUR\n \nVideo by Keltic Kreative \nArtist Interviews\nArtist and water protectors discuss the art in TOIL HERE and water protection on Mi’kma’ki.\n\n \nThe Khyber Centre for the Arts · TOIL HERE: Works from rural Mi’kma’ki\n\nARTWORKS IN TOIL HERE\n“Pulp Mill\, Abercrombie” by Curtis Botham\n  \nTOIL HERE opens with original audio\, also available as a transcription\, from Catherine Anne Martin\, Gnat Na’pi\, and Thunderbird Swooping Down Woman (Darlene Gilbert). Upon entering and while viewing the exhibition\, and online\, visitors can hear or read as these Mi’kmaq water protectors each speak to labour and water protection on Mi’kma’ki. \nAlex Antle’s Sple’tk is a watershed map of the Exploits River beaded onto a tan moose hide and hung from a scraped birch tree. The River is located in the central region of Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland) where Alex grew up. This work explores the importance of clean water and the many uses of the River. Both L’nu and settlers have utilized the water for labour and enjoyment. \nAntoinette Karuna’s hooked rug wall hangings are part of an autobiographical series. Untitled 1 and Untitled 2 explore the spiritual aspects of erotic love\, distanced from the male gaze and existing within the private sphere of the Treaty Relationship\, as Karuna is settler and her partner is Mi’kmaq. Untitled 3 examines Karuna’s biracial identity\, which is Sri Lankan Tamil (brown) and French Canadian (white)\, and how despite pressures from monoracial society to choose one racial identity over another\, she experiences her biraciality as fluid and complex. Formally\, her rugs draw on her background as a filmmaker\, mixing the language of textiles with that of cinema––notably cinematographic and storytelling principles. \nDetail of “Sple’tk” by Alex Antle\nClara Gough’s life sized figurative basket sculptures present different forms of labour: one a parent carrying a child and the other a depiction of the artist’s father carrying tools. Gough reinvents the traditional basket weaving techniques passed down in her community to depict iterations of labour and the community itself. \nCurtis Botham’s Pulp Mill\, Abercrombie is a black and white\, photo-realistic charcoal drawing as part of his ‘Effluents’ series of drawings that depict worker’s solidarity\, economic justice and environmental impact of industry in rural Mi’kma’ki. Drawn from observational sketches\, Curtis has illustrated the environmental devastation that can be caused from unsustainable\, under-regulated pulp industries. \n“Untitled 1” by Antoinette Karuna\nSecret Codes by Heather Cromwell is a vibrant series of picture quilts The Dance\, Betty Hartley and Grandma’s Hands depicting Black Nova Scotian women\, labour\, love and stories from the community. This work came out of a project by the Black Artists’ Network of Nova Scotia (BANNS) and the Vale Quilters\, where quiltmakers created from drawings made by Halifax artist-curator David Woods\, and documented travels to African Nova Scotian communities across the province. Grandma’s Hands will be on view as part of TOIL HERE. \nTilling and burying: Red Earth\, Black Death by Kim Cain is a piece about dualities of life/death\, growth/pruning\, joy/ sorrow. The red earth sets the background for the preparation of the land for planting\, with cattle and farmers preparing the soil. Black death is actualized with the central sight of the pallbearers carrying a casket towards a waiting plot. \nMichelle Roy’s Mi’kmaq regalia pieces include a toddler’s regalia\, a prom dress\, and a special jingle dress\, in representation and honoring of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women\, Girls\, and Two-Spirit and to celebrate the strength\, labour and determination of Mi’kmaq mothers\, sisters\, aunties\, wives\, and daughters and the central role of women in struggles for Indigenous justice. \n\nARTIST BIOS\nALEX ANTLE (she/her) is an emerging L’nu beadwork artist located on the North Shore of Elmastukwek\, Ktaqmkuk (Bay of Islands\, Newfoundland).
