Free Workshop, Free Admission for 12 and Under, and $1000 Bursary: Lunenburg Doc Fest’s Youth Program Lunenburg Doc Fest presents an expanded and enhanced Youth Program this month. Adding to the popular free Youth Workshop for 13 to 18 year olds, the Festival is offering a $1000 school bursary and free admission to the Youth Screening for anyone 12 and under. Starting this weekend (running September 12, 13 and 19, 20), the Youth Workshop will teach kids to make their own short documentaries then showcase their work at the festival along with the feature film, I Am Eleven, an "insightful, funny and moving documentary portrait of childhood." NEW this year, Lunenburg Doc Fest is pleased to offer free admission to youth 12 and under for the Youth/Family program, which includes the premieres of short documentaries created during the free Youth Documentary Workshop plus the I Am Eleven film. From an orphanage in India, to a single-parent household in inner-city Melbourne, to bathing with elephants in Thailand, I Am Eleven explores the lives and thoughts of children from 15 countries. I Am Eleven weaves together deeply personal and at times hilarious portraits of what it means to sit at this transitional age. These young minds provide us with a powerful insight into the future of our world. The screening takes place at 1:00pm, The Pearl Theatre, 37 Hall Street, Lunenburg. Also NEW in 2015, Lunenburg Doc Fest will award a bursary of $1,000 to a Nova Scotian student, attending post-secondary film studies.

  • The National Film Board of Canada Andrea Dorfman
    THE NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA presents FLAWED A film by ANDREA DORFMAN Produced by ANNETTE CLARKE 12 min 28 s Still pictures : http://www.onf-nfb.gc.ca/eng/press-room/photo-gallery/ © 2010 PRODUCED BY THE NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA FLAWED Short synopsis Andrea Dorfman’s Flawed is an elegantly animated illustration of how the personal can have universal resonance. Less about whether girl can get along with boy than whether girl can accept her imperfect self, Flawed celebrates at once the birth of love and the film itself. Long synopsis Flawed is nothing less than a beautiful gift from Andrea Dorfman’s vivid imagination. This charming little film is about very big ideas. Dorfman has consistently demonstrated, as both director and writer, the ability to transform the intensely personal into the universal. In Flawed she deftly traces her encounter with a potential romantic partner, questioning her attraction and the uneasy possibility of love with someone as different from her as cameras are from scalpels. After all, she is an artist, he is a plastic surgeon; she creates fresh images, he reshapes old ones. But, ultimately, Flawed is less about whether girl can get along with boy than whether girl can accept herself, imperfections and all. In a culture that sets a ridiculously high standard for beauty, such acceptance sure doesn’t come naturally. In a short space of time, with generous insight, Dorfman draws together some of our biggest concerns: desire, love, identity, self esteem, beauty and the body. Technically, Flawed is a delightful combination of time-lapse photography and pixilation.
