  • Intra-Actions with Educational Media at the National Film Board of Canada, 1960-2016
    Making Waves: Intra-actions with Educational Media at the National Film Board of Canada, 1960-2016 CAROLYN STEELE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PRODRAM IN COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE APRIL 2017 YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO © Carolyn Steele 2017 ABSTRACT This dissertation aims to excavate the narrative of educational programming at the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) from 1960 to 2016. The producers and creative staff of Studio G – the epicentre of educational programming at the NFB for over thirty years – produced extraordinarily diverse and innovative multimedia for the classroom. ‘Multimedia’ is here understood as any media form that was not film, including filmstrips, slides, overhead projecturals, laserdiscs and CDs. To date, there have been no attempts to document the history of educational programming at the NFB generally, nor to situate the history of Studio G within that tradition. Over the course of five years, I have interviewed thirty-four NFB technicians, administrators, producers and directors in the service of creating a unique collective narrative tracing the development of educational media and programming at the NFB over the past fifty- six years and began to piece together an archive of work that has largely been forgotten. Throughout this dissertation, I argue that the forms of media engagement pioneered by Studio G and its descendants fostered a desire for, and eventually an expectation for specific media affordances, namely the ability to sequence or navigate media content, to pace one’s progress through media, to access media on demand and to modify media content.

    BLIND DATE MATTHEW KENNEDY A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF FINE ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN FILM YORK UNIVERISTY TORONTO, ONTARIO June 2016 © Matthew Kennedy, 2016 Abstract Blind Date is a documentary film about a young woman from rural China named Chun Cao Zhao who is pressured into marriage through a tradition known as “blind dating.” The film begins in Guangzhou, a sprawling metropolis in Southern China, where she has been living for the past ten years, and is just days away from returning home for her wedding. As she slowly says goodbye to city life, the life she wants to keep, she reveals to the camera her feelings toward her fiancé, her thoughts on the impending wedding and her own struggles to find a boyfriend. As the film follows her back home we intimately witness the sacrifices she is forced to make in order to appease her parents and the greater instrument of Chinese culture. The film examines and contrasts contemporary China with traditional China and displays the varying roles of each gender in both rural and urban settings. The film concludes with her arranged marriage and a short follow-up with her new husband six months after the wedding. ii Acknowledgements Throughout the entire process of making this film I have several people to which I owe a tremendous amount of gratitude. Firstly, to my supervisor Barbara Evans, making this film was a long journey and it could not have been done without her patience, encouragement and unwavering support.

Signed by the final examining committee: ______________________________________ Chair Daniel Cross ______________________________________ Examiner Peter Rist ______________________________________ Examiner Rick Hancox ______________________________________ Supervisor Catherine Russell Approved by ______________________________________________________ Luca Caminati Graduate Program Director ______________________________________________________ Catherine Wild Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts Date ______________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Inherited Images: Reconfiguring Home Movies in Experimental Cinema Kelsey Haas This thesis examines a subset of contemporary experimental filmmakers who incorporate their own home movies into their films and videos. Close analysis of Helen Hill’s Mouseholes (1999), Richard Fung’s Sea in the Blood (2000), Philip Hoffman’s What these Ashes Wanted (2001), and Jay Rosenblatt’s Phantom Limb (2005) reveals tensions between the private and public functions of home movies as well as key differences between the reconfigurations of home movies and the appropriation of found footage. When experimental filmmakers use home movies, it is often a means of confronting issues of memory; also, the filmmakers most often strive to preserve the home movies because of their personal connection to them.
