Artists Against Racism Is Requesting Funding for Their National Indigenous Billboard and Bus Shelter Advertising Campaign and Public Service Announcements Teresa Fabbro From: Bill Matson Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2018 9:54 AM To: Teresa Fabbro Subject: FW: ATTN: Mayor Diodati....re: Niagara Falls and Indigenous Transit Ad campaign Attachments: AAR-Niagara Falls.pdf; GRAHAM2.jpg; VancouverBillboard2017.jpg Communications: Artists Against Racism is requesting funding for their National Indigenous Billboard and Bus Shelter advertising campaign and Public Service Announcements. Recommendation: Refer to Staff From: Carla Stout Sent: Friday, November 23, 2018 9:24 AM To: '[email protected]' Cc: Kathy Forlin; Karl Dren; Bill Matson Subject: FW: ATTN: Mayor Diodati....re: Niagara Falls and Indigenous Transit Ad campaign Good morning Lisa, Thank you for discussing your request with me and clarifying Transit’s role. I understand Pattison Outdoor Advertising has entered into an agreement with you, separate from the City of Niagara Falls, to place your posters in and around Niagara Falls. In reviewing the content, of which we do have some say under our agreement, I see no issue. Further our transit shelter revenues would be unaffected. Ultimately it would be our City Council that would approve any funding to generate your posters for this campaign, as such I am providing this response to our Clerks office. Any budget request would be coordinated by Mr. Matson and his team. I wish your organization every success with your campaign. Regards, Carla Stout Carla Stout, DPA | Manager of Transit Operations | Transportation Services | City of Niagara Falls 8208 Heartland Forest Road | Niagara Falls, ON L2H 0L7 | (905) 356-7521 ext 4531 | Fax 905-356-5576 | [email protected] From: Carey Campbell Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2018 10:10 AM To: 'artistsagainstracism'; Bill Matson Cc: Kathy Moldenhauer; Karl Dren Subject: RE: ATTN: Mayor Diodati....re: Niagara Falls and Indigenous Transit Ad campaign Hi Lisa: Bill Matson can put your request before Council, but it won’t come before Council without some context.. therefore, best to speak with Kathy M. and Karl Dren beforehand to give them some context and get their support. 1 Carey From: artistsagainstracism <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2018 4:58 PM To: Carey Campbell <[email protected]> Subject: Re: ATTN: Mayor Diodati....re: Niagara Falls and Indigenous Transit Ad campaign Hi Carey, Thanks so much for your quick reply! Since we don't need anything donated other than funding for the bus shelter space for our PSAs that we described in the letter and in our two choices of budgets, please tell us how to proceed so that we don't email the wrong people and confuse them!! Attached is one of our Indigenous artworks that will be used for the bus shelter posters. Thanks again, All the best, Lisa From: Carey Campbell Sent: Monday, November 19, 2018 12:41 PM To: 'artistsagainstracism'; Karl Dren; Kathy Moldenhauer; Clark Bernat Cc: Bill Matson Subject: RE: ATTN: Mayor Diodati....re: Niagara Falls and Indigenous Transit Ad campaign Dear Lisa: Many thanks for your detailed email to Mayor Diodati and your clear passion for this project. The mayor asked that I connect you to some key folks at the City who might be able to help with the preliminary steps and point you in the right direction. Ultimately, if you are looking for donated space/ items in the City, that request will need to come before City Council. The Acting City Clerk, Bill Matson is included here in order to help facilitate that request. However, prior to that, you may want to connect with some City Staff who can share information about partnering and opportunities. Director of Recreation and Culture, Kathy Moldenhauer is included here, as well as Clark Bernat in her area, who is the Manager of Museums. As well, Karl Dren, Director of Transportation is copied. I trust that they may have some information for you or might want to talk further with you before you proceed. Thank you again for bringing this important project to our attention and including our community in the opportunity. Best, carey Carey Campbell | Manager | Office of the Mayor and CAO | City of Niagara Falls 4310 Queen Street | Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 | 905.356.7521 X 4206 | [email protected] From: artistsagainstracism <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 16, 2018 4:37 PM To: Jim Diodati <[email protected]> Subject: ATTN: Mayor Diodati....re: Niagara Falls and Indigenous Transit Ad campaign Dear Mayor Diodati: 2 “This is all I want to do, nothing else really matters to me,” said Gord Downie, regarding his dedication to the Indigenous cause in his final year of life. Late last year, as we were wondering how we could help keep Gord Downie’s dream alive, our charity had an epiphany: Why not do a massive billboard campaign across the country where Indigenous people address major issues such as Truth and Reconciliation through their own art. In Gord’s honour, and in honour of the Indigenous Peoples he tirelessly strived to help, we will be launching EAGLES RISING—a National Indigenous Billboard and Bus Shelter Campaign with artwork created by Buffy Sainte-Marie, Maxine Noel, Roy Henry Vickers, Norval Morrisseau and dozens more top Indigenous artists, next spring. Pattison Outdoor is donating digital billboard space nationwide, Astral Media is generously donating bus shelter ad space across Ontario and Quebec, and thousands of dollars in artwork licensing have been donated by the artists, but there is one thing left that we need to make this campaign a reality… The funds to print dozens of posters for billboards and bus shelters across NIAGARA FALLS are what are needed. While we have a couple spots in NIAGARA FALLS we could use dozens more. If you are interested in helping your city be a large part of this historic campaign, and making it a reality, we can send you a budget to show you how you can help the dozens of Indigenous artists take their powerful messages in bus shelters right across your city. THE CITY OF NIAGARA FALLS logo will go on the bottom of these posters in thanks, and the city will also be in all of our press releases and media interviews. We look forward to hearing from you in the next few days or at your earliest convenience and have attached images of a billboard spot from last year, and one of the ones for this year's bus shelters (by Roy Henry Vickers). Plus our basic budget for NIAGARA FALLS with two budget choices, though we can work with you to choose another. All the very best, Lisa Cherniak Exec.

  • Un Traductor Directed by Rodrigo & Sebastián Barriuso Un Traductor
    Un Traductor Directed by Rodrigo & Sebastián Barriuso Un Traductor Logline A Russian Literature professor at the University of Havana is ordered to work as a translator for child victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster when they’re sent to Cuba for medical treatment. Based on a true story. Synopsis In the wake of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, Malin, a Russian literature professor at The University of Havana, is sent to translate between Cuban doctors and children sent from the USSR for medical treatment. Torn from the abstract world of academia and forced into the relentlessly real world of medicine, Malin becomes increasingly depressed. When he meets a child who tells him a story, Malin connects with the kids and finds his way through. Just as he adapts to his new job, the Berlin Wall falls and Cuba enters the deepest economic crisis the island has ever known. But Malin is now so entrenched in the lives of the Chernobyl Children that he doesn’t notice his young family suffering. He must find his way back to his wife and child through the lessons he learns at the hospital – and become a better person on the way. Filmmaker Biographies Rodrigo Barriuso, Co-Director Rodrigo Barriuso is a Cuban-Canadian award-winning filmmaker.
