In 1967, a filmmaker from the National Film Board of Canada and a field worker from 91´«Ã½ made a series of 27 films on Fogo Island. The exercise pioneered the use of film as a community development tool and made an indelible mark on film history in Canada.
The Films of Fogo Island marks the 50th anniversary of the Fogo Process and features original footage with new interviews of the films’ subjects.
Four years in the making, and funded by the Institute of Social and Economic Research, the JR Smallwood Foundation and the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Co-operatives, the 44-minute long documentary is a production of 91´«Ã½â€™s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Film Unit.
Both Dr. Webb and Mr. Norman will be on-hand to introduce the documentary and answer questions after the screening.
Hope to see you there!
