As well as taking inspiration from directors’ final reflections, students can acquire new knowledge in the areas of editing, sound and interviewing to apply to their own projects. They can choose to study a particular director too. Students of web design can examine effective elements in design and accessibility. 11 FLAWED 15+ LANGUAGE ARTS & LITERATURE HEALTH & MEDICINE – HEALTHY LIVING SOCIAL ISSUES – GIRLS & WOMEN GUIDE Exploring links that question ideas of the “normal” body, students can express their own opinions on “flaws” through photogra- phy or video that experiments with sound and visual animation techniques. They can also undertake creative writing projects or research and discuss the medical and ethical consequences of plastic surgery. Web design students can study the site’s design strategies and accessibility to its target audience. Streaming licence required. Call 1-800-267-7710 now! 12 FLUB AND UTTER 10+ LANGUAGE ARTS & LITERATURE SOCIAL ISSUES HEALTH & MEDICINE Inspired by links from individual words, students can create their own poetry and personal websites. Student writers from around the world can then connect with each other on this interactive site. The poet’s personal speech challenges prompt students to reflect on similar experiences in journals and dramatic improvisations, as well as to research topics on human speech. Examining related NFB films online encourages students to explore human challenges through a mul- titude of expressions, such as video, drama and poetry. 13 GOD’S LAKE NARROWS 13+ ABORIGINAL PEOPLES/FIRST NATIONS STUDIES LANGUAGE ARTS & LITERATURE MEDIA EDUCATION & CINEMA HUMAN RIGHTS The creative combination of personal narra- tive and sound inspires students in reading, listening, research and writing activities, par- ticularly around such topics as: the nature of culture, stereotypes of First Nations reserves, the effects of industrialization on First Nations culture, residential schools, the effect of environment on children’s early development, the challenges of being gay and Native in Canada. Opportunities for debate abound, as the site invites comparisons between contem- porary urban Canadian communities and rural reserves.

    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.

    Working With the NFB’s Digital Studio June 2015 Working With the NFB’s Digital Studio As a unique creative and cultural laboratory, The NFB is eager to explore what it means to “create” and “connect” with Canadians in the age of technology. We are looking to work with a wide range of Canadian artists and media-makers interested in experimenting with the creative application of platforms and technology to story and form. Filmmakers, Interactive Designers, Photographers, Social Media Producers, Graphic Artists, Information Architects, Writers, Video and Sound Artists, Musicians, etc. We are excited by the collaborative nature of media today and are open to receiving project proposals from all types of artists and creators. What Kinds of Creations? As a public producer we have a duty to contribute to the ongoing social discourse of the day through the production of creative audiovisual works. We remain convinced of the powerful and transformative effects of art and imagination for the public good. We have a strong code of ethics that guides our work including the importance of an artistic voice and a diversity of voices, authenticity and creative excellence, innovation and risk taking, social relevance and the promotion of a civic, inclusive democratic culture. Our approach to story is innovative, open-ended, and participatory. We strive to create groundbreaking works that harness the appropriate technologies for each story and/or audience group, and contain built-in channels that open the project up for direct engagement. We are currently looking to produce new works that help us achieve our mission including interactive documentaries, mobile and locative media, interactive animations, photographic art and essays, data visualizations, physical installations, community media, interactive video, user- generated media, etc.

The future beckons, but we’re only partway through inventing it. We can see the outlines of a new art form, but its grammar is as tenuous and elusive as the grammar of cinema a century ago.” – Frank Rose Course Description This course examines the shift from traditional cinematic spectacles to works probing the frontiers of interactive, performative, and networked media. Drawing upon a broad range of scholarship, including film theory, communication studies, cultural studies and new media theory, the course will consider how digital technologies are transforming the semiotic fabric of contemporary visual cultures. The great realist film theorist André Bazin predicted that the future of cinema would be a holographic form without boundaries. In this moment Bazin’s vision is begining to be realized, but co-exists with its opposite: frames within frames that foreground the materiality of the screen.

The exhibition, which includes virtual-reality experiences, interactive films, participatory installations, and new touch responsive interfaces, opens on April 18, 2015, and will be on view through July 26, 2015, at the Museum. “Technology has driven the evolution of moving image entertainment since the invention of film,” said Carl Goodman, the Museum’s Executive Director. “Today, new technologies and interfaces aim to bring the body, mind, and senses into a new relationship with the moving image, one which eliminates the gap between the real and the virtual, the physical and the digital. We asked Future of Storytelling to develop an exhibition for the Museum because of their unique expertise in these important developments.” Conceived and organized by the Future of StoryTelling (FoST), Sensory Stories invites visitors to participate in narratives that merge traditional storytelling with groundbreaking new technologies, incorporating full-body immersion, and interaction that includes sight, hearing, touch,
