Mind the funding gap...
2008-03-09 00:16:00
Today is International Women's Day, marked world-wide to celebrate women, but also to stop and consider what obstacles continue to be placed in their way. Last week the International Trade Union Confederation published a massive study showing that women's lots are clearly not as equal as men's. They found that around the world women still earn, on average, 16 percent less than their male colleagues. While the study doesn't single out particular industries, another new study shows that the arts industry is hardly an exception to this rule. A study released Wednesday by Réalisatrices Équitables, a Quebec pressure group composed of women film and television directors whose main objective is equity for women directors in Quebec, reveals women directors are consistently awarded less money by Quebec and Canadian agencies which fund cultural businesses. For example, between 2005 and 2007, while women were accepted for 27 percent of projects at the Canadian Television Fund they were on...

Remembering Larry and making media that diversify collective memory
2008-03-06 21:10:00
February 12th is a date permanently etched in my brain and should be on the collective memory of North America. On this date, nearly one month ago, eighth grader Lawrence King was shot in the head by fellow fourteen year old student Brandon David McInerney in the middle of a class lab. King, an incredibly courageous openly queer fifteen year old, had asked McInerney to be his valentine. He was murdered for being queer and it is a story that the media in America had nearly ignored until Ellen Degeneres gave her sombre monologue on the incident on her show just over a week ago. Degeneres told her audience that being gay does not make you a second class citizen, that neither King nor herself were second class citizens. And, barely able to control her emotions, she warned of a culture that sends the message if you?re gay you?ll be murdered. Queer sites, advocacy groups and activists have reported and commented on this story, filling in for a complacent and heteronormative corporate new...

Kill Bill (C-10) campaign gathers steam; Right-wing Christians mobilizing s
2008-03-06 17:30:00
The Kill Bill (C-10) firestorm is getting hotter. Canada's television industry has entered the fight telling the government to keep its hands off of Canadian film and television production. The Directors Guild of Canada and ACTRA (Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists) are both urging the government to stop Bill C-10, an amendment to the Income Tax Act that would allow the Minister of Heritage to claw back tax credits from any production deemed ?contrary to public policy?. A Facebook page has also been created "Keep Your Censoring Hands Off Of Canadian Film and TV! No to Bill C-10!" to provide information and make it easier for Canadians to contact elected representatives. At the centre of the storm is a relatively new lobby group on Parliament Hill, the Canada Family Action Coalition, a small group of Christians who, according to their website, have a ?vision to see Judeo-Christian moral principles restored in Canada?. The CFAC is an anti-abortion, ho...

Jack Layton and the NDP weigh in on Bill C-10
2008-03-05 14:46:00
Apologies to all our readers in the US who may not be as interested in this issue, but up here in Canuckland, Bill C-10 and its implications are big news and Art Threat is committed to providing steady updates as they come in. Now a word from the NDP's Jack Layton : Thank you for contacting me about Bill C-10 and the Harper government's plans to censor film in Canada that it finds "offensive". I agree that expanding the criteria used for denying tax credits to artists amounts to censorship and will have devastating consequences for the film and television industry. New Democrats are standing up in Parliament to protect freedom of artistic expression in Canada. NDP House Leader Libby Davies was the first to raise the issue in Question Period and NDP Industry Critic Peggy Nash has made a formal statement in the House of Commons. NDP Culture and Heritage Critic Bill Siksay pushed this matter at the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage and in related media interviews. I invite you t...

Bill C-10 will protect Canadians from funding Porn. Like the porn industry
2008-03-04 22:48:00
Hey, my fellow film producers out there. Stop worrying about Bill C-10. It will protect us and our audience against the evils of the Porn Industry . Apparantly, Porn Producers have been milking the government Tax Credit system for years, because the Canadian Porn industry has been under-represented in the media. This is the only way that Bill C-10 will effect Canadian film productions says Pierre Poilievre during an interview on CBC Radio's The Current. But, a closer look at the current guidelines for film productions applying for the Federal Tax Credit refund shows that porn is already listed as an ineligible genre. Section 5 in the Tax Credit guidelines Ineligible genres of production plainly lists the types of projects that Heritage Canada will not consider funding. The following genres of production are not eligible for the tax credit program: news, current events or public affairs programming, or a programme that includes weather or market reports; talk show; productio...

An open letter from educator and former Film Studies Association of Canada president Michael Zyrd, regarding Ottawa's proposed censorship bill: Dear Honourable Prime Minister Harper, and Honourable Minister Verner, I write with extreme concern about the proposed Bill C-10, and the ways that it would enable de facto government censorship of film and television. According to a story in the Globe and Mail: ?Bill C-10, currently at third reading in the Senate, contains an amendment to the Income Tax Act which would allow the Minister of Canadian Heritage to deny eligibility to tax credits of productions determined to be contrary to public policy,? Charles Drouin, spokesman for Canadian Heritage said in a statement. ?... Upon royal assent of C-10, the Department of Canadian Heritage plans to update the eligibility requirements for the [Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit] program.?

Stephen Harper should cut his hair, not film board funding
2008-03-03 20:30:00
In part two of this week's attack on culture in Canada, Stephen Harper 's Conservatives have cut $2.5 million from the budget of the National Film Board . It now appears that Canadian producers will have even less money to create and promote films that fulfill the government's new puritanical requirements. Not cut from the budget, however, is Harper's fashion advisor. Given that Harper's hair is even worse than the coiffe of the creep in No Country For Old Men, taxpayers not getting very good value for their money. (Disclosure: I work part-time at the NFB.)

Proposed censorship bill threatens to pull crucial funding from "offensive"
2008-03-03 16:01:00
For our readers working in the industry this is probably by now old news, but for the rest of us, we may be surprised at just how much mileage Young People Fucking is getting as a catalyst for culture-clampdown. The Canadian feature that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival is repeatedly cited by right wing reactionaries such as Charles McVety and his group Canada Family Action Coalition as the arbiter of all that is unholy in the Canadian culturescape. McVety and his gang are disgusted that their taxes go into funding productions like YPF, a soft-core romantic comedy about, you guessed it, horses skydiving. Lucky for McVety and the Victorian moral police, they have a fearless leader who has responded with action. Stephen Harper and his gang of moralizing crusaders, the Conservative party, have a bill before the Canadian Senate called C-10 that would give Heritage Canada power to deny tax credits to film and TV works they decided were too offensive, essentially putt...

Russian election mocked in Moscow's art galleries
2008-03-03 13:00:00
While I was milking a free litchi cocktail at the Canadian Centre for Architecture late Saturday night during Montreal's infamous Nuit Blanche, vodka connoisseurs on the opposite side of the Arctic Ocean were busy rubber stamping Vladimir Putin's choice of successor. As president-elect, Dmitry Medvedev's first order of business was publicly promising a "direct continuation" of Putin's policies. Perhaps the only news less surprising was back in Montreal as our bartender announced that the pro-bono booze had run dry. While some Russia n s were filing through the polls, however, others were hitting the art scene, as several galleries boasted election-themed collections. In an ArtInfo article, Valentin Diaconov discusses the artistic climate during the elections, focusing on five Moscow exhibitions that were directly related to the vote. Since Moscow has only fifteen or so contemporary art galleries, this feat is even more impressive. From the article: There is a long tradition here o...

Vox Sambou: Haitian hip-hop ambassador
2008-03-03 12:00:00
The self-described "eternal voice of Haiti", Vox Sambou (born Robints Paul) is a Montreal-based emcee and international hip-hop activist whose Creole raps and dancehall chants speak to the thorny political reality that continues to plague his countrymen. After 16 years of spitting rhymes in booming baritone from Haiti to Havana to Toronto's Harbourfront alone or alongside Montreal's Nomadic Massive, Paul is now set to bless us with his debut solo album. The title of the LP is Lakay, the Haitian Creole word for home, which in Paul's case is Litero a neighborhood on the outskirts of the city of Limbe 220 km north of Port au Prince. Also known as 'ti Guinea, the small region is the source of the deep-rooted Caribbean rhythms that punctuated the lives of Paul's great-great grandparents and kept his own head bobbin' before he had ever heard of a thing called hip-hop. As he grew older, Paul also embraced Dancehall and early Reggaetone, but his true heroes were the socially conscio...

Broadcasting the panopticon: Art project transforms wireless surveillance i
2008-03-03 09:00:00
Surveillance is a response to fear. A cautious response, perhaps, and sometimes a paranoid response. But what about the product of surveillance? The images and sounds? If the images of people are taken without permission, who owns them? What few owners of wireless video surveillance systems realize is that their security needs are also little television stations broadcasting images to anyone who can find them. Dublin-based artist Benjamin Gaulon is doing just that and using what he finds to subvert assumptions about the public-private nature of surveillance technologies. 2.4 Ghz (the project name) uses simple consumer technologies to pickup and display wireless surveillance camera signals in a local area. Gaulon installs them in public places ? for example, attached to a lamp post in front of a building. What was a private ?taking? of privacy becomes public, a kind of turning inside out of the arrangement of surveillance. The images are eery and, of, course immense...

The folks over at ni9e.com have, and the result is their Intellectual Property Donor sticker: Once you pass on, your intellectual property is actually removed from the public sphere for 50 years (in Canada; in the US it's 70 years) making it impossible for anyone to legally build upon or integrate your work into their own.

Hendrix drummer Buddy Miles dead at 60
2008-02-29 16:55:00
Buddy Miles , the drummer in Jimi Hendrix 's Band of Gypsys, died Tuesday of congestive heart failure in his Austin, Texas home. He was 60. A big guy with an even bigger afro, the acclaimed rock drummer made history when he joined Hendrix and bassist Billy Cox to form the Band of Gypsys, the first all black rock group, according the the New Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll. The association was short lived, however, as Miles was fired by Hendrix's management in 1988. According to the drummer, the suits were wary of continuing with an all black band. "It had to be a racial thing," Miles told The Times. "I think it had to scare them because of the political aspect at the time."

Food Fight: the history of war told through culinary carnage
2008-02-29 12:00:00
This isn't your typical middle school mealtime melee. Stefan Nadelman's Food Fight is a short film that uses stop motion animation and food?a whole lotta food?to portray the last 60 years of global armed conflict. From the film's website: Food Fight is an abridged history of war, from World War II to present day, told through the foods of the countries in conflict. Watch as traditional comestibles slug it out for world domination in this chronologically re-enacted smorgasbord of aggression. I had a blast trying to figure out the symbolism, some of which is more obvious than others. If you don't have the patience to keep up with the mass of meaty metaphors, a cheat sheet is available to help you identify the tasty cast members. (Hint: the heaps of beef stroganoff represent the succulent Soviets.)
