Black History Month activities by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) in February will feature free events at the NFB Space and the Alanis Obomsawin Theatre, located at Îlot Balmoral on the Place des Festivals. Under the theme Together, Let's Raise Our Voices, the month will also be marked on NFB platforms with a channel on Black Communities in Canada.
On the agenda: catch recent films, discuss projects still in production or enjoy timeless classics that continue to resonate today. This is your chance to meet and engage with up-and-coming and veteran filmmakers working in animation or documentary. Gain unique insights into the creative process, the role of memory and storytelling, the power of music, and pressing social issues such as systemic racism. These events will spark conversations that highlight the contributions of Black communities from diverse backgrounds. Join the discussion!
