These three lessons from NFB can be used for Pink Shirt Day.

We know that the everyday lives of our students are inundated with media. This often-overwhelming menu of media-rich entrées gets served up at a rate that seems to value overconsumption more than proper and meaningful digestion. As educators, we may be left wondering, how do we beef up (or tofu up , if you prefer) our students’ appetites for media-literacy so that they can skillfully navigate our ever-changing, media-saturated landscape?

This playlist features films that confront racism. They are a small selection of films from the NFB collection that look at instances of racism in Canada, and support dialogue on equality and diversity.

Bagages est un film qui donne la parole et la scène à des adolescents de l’école secondaire Paul-Gérin-Lajoie-d’Outremont nouvellement arrivés à Montréal. On découvre leur récit de migration et d’intégration à travers des ateliers d’art dramatique, des mises en scènes théâtrales et des entrevues où ils se révèlent à nous. Ils témoignent d’un « ailleurs » et d’un « avant » qui deviendront « ici » et « maintenant ». Ils sont jeunes, mais parlent de leur parcours avec une sagesse déconcertante, une émotion à faire trembler les plus durs et une authenticité désarmante.

Now more than ever is the time to consider the realities of Canadian-Black communities. Explore our collection of films by distinguished Black filmmakers, creators, and allies. We’ve selected a group of NFB films that portray the multi-layered lives of Canada’s diverse Black communities. The incredible stories of strength, courage and perseverance in the face of adversity that these films present are not often found in mainstream history books. Black communities and cultures have been part of Canadian history from its earliest days, but sadly, their contributions and the lessons they can teach are rarely studied at the elementary or secondary level in schools.

The seminal Canada at War documentary film series was first broadcast on the CBC on April 3, 1962. Its 13 half-hour episodes were culled from more than 14,000,000 feet of film, mostly shot by Canadian Army cameramen during the Second World War but also including footage shot by German and British film crews. It took a team of editors three years to put the series together under the supervision of documentary filmmaker extraordinaire Donald Britain (who also wrote the commentary). It remains, to this day, one of the most important works on the Second World War.

Jason Logan is a Toronto-based artist, inkmaker and forager. He began his career as an illustrator in New York City and became interested in natural sources of pigment when his children were born. This documentary, organized by colour, takes us into Jason’s world, highlighting his curiosity, spirit of experimentation and creativity as he gathers natural and botanical materials throughout his travels and transforms them into ink, working like a mad scientist of sorts. For Jason, the creation of ink becomes a vehicle for connecting and relationship building with artists and other creatives from around the world. This mini lesson invites students to analyze where art materials come from by looking at the impact of drawing on the natural world to make ink. They will also explore concepts of permanence and ephemerality and can engage in geographically tracking the movement of Logan’s inks from place to place. The mini lesson also creates opportunities for students to research an individual artist represented in the film, and finally to work in pairs to make ink for one another.

In the film, two co-workers are made to share the same workspace. However, their clashing personalities and differing approaches to work soon create tension. How can they defuse the situation?

Pour le Mois de l’histoire des Noirs, nous avons une occasion unique, en tant que pédagogues, de faire connaître aux élèves l’histoire des communautés noires et leur contribution à la société et à la culture au Canada.

Trois courts métrages d’animation permettent d’aborder le Mois de l’histoire des Noirs avec des élèves du primaire et du secondaire, tout en insistant sur certains aspects de la vie civique.

Inspirée du livre de Lynette Comissiong, ce court métrage d’animation est en quelque sorte une version caraïbéenne du conte Hansel et Gretel. Sourds aux avertissements de leur mère, Tina et Dalby traversent le pont interdit et se retrouvent prisonniers de la méchante Mama Zi, une cocoya (esprit maléfique). Ils se croient perdus mais Tina, qui est très futée, convainc Mama Zi de continuer à se prélasser au soleil, ce qui donne aux enfants le temps de s'enfuir.

Ironically, while they fought for the freedom of others, they were being denied equality in their own country and returned home to find their land seized.

In the summer of 2015, filmmaker Scott Parker travelled to the great plains of southern Saskatchewan to produce 10 short documentary films based on community-generated ideas. Subjects, themes, even interview questions were all selected using significant community input, and each film was screened with the participants for their feedback and final approval.
