SUMMARY:The Moving Past
DESCRIPTION:Between 1917 and 1936 the Governments of Ontario and Canada produced hundreds of films on various subjects like farming techniques\, industrial technology\, vacations for the wealthy and “appropriate” workplace behaviour\, among others. The Ontario Motion Picture Bureau\, (OMPB) made educational films for “farmers\, school children\, factory workers and other classes.” The Canadian Government Motion Picture Bureau\, (CGMPB) advertised “Canada’s scenic attractions\, agricultural resources and industrial development.”  \nToday these films provide a rare glimpse at how work\, industry\, gender\, and class was understood and promoted by the state over 100 years ago. The narratives in the films avoided overt discussions of politics. Unions are invisible in these films\, though they feature industries where unions were militant and active. Similarly\, protests of any kind do not appear\, yet in their absence\, they have much to say about workplace struggle.  \nSeveral of these historical films have been restored via The Moving Past\, a film restoration and history project. Join us as we watch a selection of films that address labour\, indigenous land use\, gender\, and social class in the 1920’s. We’ll also be hearing from the curator of the project\, David Sobel\, on the history behind the films\, the project’s origins and why resources such as these are so invaluable for those of us trying to understand the past while we struggle for a better world today. \nLocation: Downtown Toronto – Venue TBA.
