1) Local Filmmaker "Show And Pitch Session."
Our priority is for local emerging filmmakers to showcase their talents and meet in a small group with Silva. If you have a documentary or animation proposal you are working on please send us a one paragraph summary by Tuesday the 9th. Send a brief bio as well. Let us know what you would like to show - we will allow up to 4 mins. clip of your previous documentary work or a trailer or clip from a current project. We will screen it using the projector. Please let us know what you would like to present. Keep it brief so we everyone gets an opportunity.
2) A panel and public meeting in the hall
3) One on one interviews with Silva
We will also be booking one on one interviews with Silva for the following morning for filmmakers who have a proposal ready to go and would like more time to pitch their project or get advice from Silva. Don't forget that the NFB also supports fiction films with its FAPS program - local filmmakers had access when we were still part of the Winnipeg office.

10:30 -11:30 - Finnish labour Temple (home of the Bay Street Film Festival and Flash Frame) 314 Bay Street main hall above the Hoito.
8 or 10 x 6 minute presentations from local filmmakers and their work in the hall. Flash Frame will invite the filmmakers to show a few minutes from their films or films in progress (we had record numbers who screened their films this year at the festival) and talk briefly about their current projects. They will also bring their CV's and a one page written description of their projects.
11:30 - 12:30 Silva talks to filmmakers about the various programs at the NFB - how to apply for a FAP, how to pitch a documentary or new media project etc.
12:30 - 1:30 Lunch at the Hoito with Bay Street Film Festival Board of Directors
3:00 pm - Public presentation and panel back at the Hall. The general public is welcome here as well as local cultural and Film related organizations and institutions. Flash Frame will invite these parties.
Kelly Saxberg Chair of Flash Frame will be on the panel as a NFB filmmaker to talk briefly about working with the NFB and ONF on the several films she edited and the two films she directed for the NFB. Silva will then give a talk about the role of the NFB in Canada as a cultural institution and give us the heads up on where the NFB is heading now and how we as a community can access the NFB. Then we can have a question and answer session. We have internet in the hall and can also put the website up on the big screen and talk about New Media projects.
