REPORTS

EXECUTIVE + ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S REPORT The Cinematheque had a lively and exciting 2017, and the priority and prominence we placed on Canadian films and filmmakers in the year’s programs played no small role. Showcasing the achievements of Canada’s own artists has always been a very important part of The Cinematheque’s role, but 2017 was particularly special. Our most significant and ambitious exhibition of the year, without question, was Canada on Screen, a national partnership between The Cinematheque and TIFF in Toronto, Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa, and the Cinémathèque Québécoise in Montreal.

Canada on Screen celebrated Canada’s 150th birthday by selecting and spotlighting Canada’s 150 essential moving-image works. The selections were chosen through a nationwide poll of film and media experts. The Cinematheque offered 70 Canada on Screen presentations in Vancouver during the year, all of them free-of-charge to the public. One hundred Canada on Screen selections – feature films, documentaries, shorts, animation, experimental film and video, and more – were screened in these free events. Attendance exceeded expectations. Canada on Screen must be a considered a great success as an initiative designed to inspire Canadians, during Canada’s sesquicentennial year, to discover (or re-discover) the remarkable cultural legacy of Canadian cinema and media art.

In addition to Canada on Screen, we offered our third season of The Image Before Us: A History of Film in British Columbia, an annual program dedicated to significant local and regional accomplishments; organized Cinema Sunday, our monthly program for children and their families, around the yearlong theme of “Made in Canada”; and provided a variety of other Canadian screenings and programs.

and Lina Wertmüller; national retrospectives of Hong Kong cinema, Polish animation, and Soviet cinema; a newly monthly showcase of contemporary films from Iran; and our 20th annual European Union Film Festival (the latter another milestone in our programming).

We bid farewell at the end of 2017 to Liz Schulze, our stalwart Education Manager for the past nine years. Liz’s outreach work on behalf of the organization was truly exemplary; she has left as her legacy an array of strong community programs that foster filmmaking skills, critical thinking, media literacy, and film appreciation – programs that have always placed great emphasis on diversity, inclusiveness, and accessibility. We wish Liz all the best in her future endeavours. We are pleased to welcome Michael Fontana as The Cinematheque’s new Education Manager.

The Cinematheque has been part of the cultural landscape of Vancouver and B.C. since 1972. We are driven by a commitment to cinema as an art form with an important history and a dynamic contemporary practice; and by a vision of cinema that is expansive and inclusive, that embraces diverse voices and diverse forms of creative expression, that celebrates Canada’s best alongside the world’s best. The arts are an essential pillar of civil society and healthy community. The Cinematheque owes its own health and success these many years to a large, diverse community of stakeholders and supporters – patrons, donors, volunteers, Board members, professional staff, funding agencies, programming partners – who share our love of cinema and our belief in the value of culture. Our thanks and gratitude to all of you!

Many notable international programs were presented as well: career retrospectives devoted to Bruno Dumont, Kenji Mizoguchi, Eric Rohmer,

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

TREASURER’S REPORT

This past year was yet another successful and progressive year at The Cinematheque. Once again, we presented more than 500 screenings, including retrospectives on the work of Kenji Mizoguchi, Eric Rohmer, and Lina Wertmuller. We also screened selections of contemporary Iranian cinema, contemporary Croatian cinema, and a series on Hong Kong cinema between 1997 and 2007.

I am pleased to report that the Pacific Cinémathèque Pacifique Society continues to enjoy a steady financial performance, as reflected in the 2017 financial statements. We ended the fiscal year with a surplus of $71,741, and created an internally restricted fund of $25,000 for the purpose of creating and maintaining a new website. Our fund balance was increased to $192,238.

Without question, the highlight of 2017 was Canada on Screen: A YearLong Celebration of Canada’s Moving-Image Heritage and Canada’s 150th Birthday. This unique celebration of Canadian cinema comprised a series of free screenings of Canadian cinematic gems over the course of the year.

Last year we reported that we had completed the Cinematheque’s first strategic planning exercise in many years. This exercise gave us a clear direction for the next several years and, working closely with senior management, the Board is actively involved in the plan’s execution.

From a financial perspective, 2017 was yet another solid year. The credit in large part for this excellent stewardship of resources goes to Jim Sinclair, our visionary Executive and Artistic Director, and his exceptional and talented leadership team: Kate Ladyshewsky, Shaun Inouye, Lizzie Brotherston, Michael Fontana, Linton Murphy, and Al Reid - for their excellent work. I would also like to thank, as always, the rest of the staff and the many volunteers who give their time and energy to help make The Cinematheque one of Vancouver’s cultural jewels.

Revenues are up 16% or $147,605 from 2016 attributable principally to an Exhibition Partnership for Canada On Screen programming, as well as small increases in admissions and theatre rental revenues, and funding for educational programming. We have seen an increase in expenses by 9% or $81,557. The increase in expenses is primarily attributable to educational, programming, and advertising expenses related to Canada On Screen.

As in previous years, credit for these results must be given to the management team and staff of The Cinematheque for their continued passion and diligence for the society and its mandate. They continue to enjoy the board’s full confidence.

Rudy Bootsma, BA, PBA Treasurer, Board of Directors

In closing, I would like to say that it has been my honour and pleasure to have served as Chair of the Board of Directors these past four years and I am looking forward to working with David Legault, the incoming Board Chair, to continue the tradition of excellence of this wonderful organization. I would also to acknowledge and welcome two new Board members, Leah Mallen and Rudy Boostma.

Finally, I would like to thank all of you, our members, supporters, and friends, for your continuing support.

Jim Bindon President, Board of Directors

PUBLIC PROGRAMS & SERVICES FILM EXHIBITIONS

WEST COAST FILM ARCHIVES

The Cinematheque is home to one of the largest and most extensive programs of quality, curated film exhibitions in North America. We present over 500 screenings annually, providing audiences with access to significant contemporary and historical achievements of film, and celebrating the richness and diversity of local, national, and international film culture: retrospectives of great directors and important foreign cinemas; new Canadian film; prestigious international touring exhibitions; plus guest appearances, lectures, panel discussions, and more.

The Cinematheque’s Film Archive comprises three different collections of 16mm and 35mm film prints. The West Coast Film Collection is devoted to preserving the heritage of independent filmmaking on Canada’s west coast.

Our holdings include a core collection of more than 220 significant B.C. films dating from 1968 to 1978, the period of the first major wave of independent and avant-garde filmmaking in Vancouver. The National Film Board Collection consists of over 800 film titles produced from 1960 to 1985. The Canadian Film Collection includes a number of animated, experimental, and feature films made outside of B.C.

FILM REFERENCE LIBRARY The Film Reference Library is key in promoting the understanding of film and moving-image media and advancing film culture in Vancouver. One of the largest collections of its kind in Western Canada, the library is international in scope, but maintains a special emphasis on Canadian cinema. Holdings include thousands of books and periodicals on a wide array of topics related to the appreciation, production, history, and sociology of film. The library is open to the public and is visited regularly by film studies students.

CANADA ON SCREEN A YEAR-LONG PROGRAM CELEBRATING CANADA’S 150TH BIRTHDAY AND RICH CINEMATIC HERITAGE

In 2017, The Cinematheque and three other Canadian institutions – TIFF, Cinémathèque Québécois, and Library and Archives Canada – were co-producing partners of Canada on Screen, a national initiative organized to celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial. The most ambitious retrospective of Canada’s cinematic heritage ever mounted, Canada on Screen polled film experts and industry professionals across the country to compile a list of Canada’s 150 essential moving-image works. These 150 selections were spread across nine categories: features films, documentaries, shorts, animation, experimental film and video, moving-image installations, music videos, commercials, and television shows. An accompanying Canada on Screen Digital Catalogue was published with online essays devoted to each of the 150 works.

With support from the Canada 150 Fund, The Cinematheque presented 70 free public screenings, showcasing 100 of the 150 selections, as part of its Canada on Screen activities in Vancouver during the year.

These events, which began in January with Sandy Wilson’s 1985 B.C. classic My American Cousin and concluded in December with Bob Clark’s 1974 cult hit Black Christmas, included an entire week of free screenings in July, to coincide with Canada Day and Canada’s official 150th birthday. Our free presentations encompassed most of the selections in the feature films, documentaries, shorts, animation, and experimental film and video categories.

The Cinematheque Education Department provided free Canada on Screen film studies workshops to more than two hundred Vancouverarea students; visited the traditional territories of the Lil’wat Nation in Pemberton and Mount Currie, B.C., to offer Canada on Screen-themed filmmaking instruction to local youths; and produced four new Canada on Screen Digital Study Guides on topics in Canadian film, media, and multiculturalism: Canadiana Constructed (Parts I and 2), Female Voices, and Indigenous Voices.

The guides will be unveiled in April 2018 and available free-of-charge online.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH The Cinematheque aims to foster an appreciation and passion for the art of film, as well as an understanding of the impact of visual media in the world around us. For over 20 years, our outreach programming has supported a vibrant and active youth-in-film community across the province. The Cinematheque offers original digital filmmaking programs, thought-provoking media literacy workshops, and special film screenings with facilitated discussions.

OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS INCLUDE:

SPECIAL PROJECTS AND NEW INITIATIVES

•

Film Production Workshops | Innovative digital filmmaking programs, which involve participants inside and outside schools in learning the language and process of filmmaking by creating their own videos.

•

•

Media Literacy Workshops | Engaging discussions that provide young people with critical-thinking skills and analytical perspectives for a better understanding of films, social media, and visual culture.

•

Film Studies Workshops | Unique events that welcome students into our theatre for film screenings and facilitated debates. Issues explored in 2017 include critical looks at artificial intelligence, news, and visual media.

The Indie Filmmakers Lab | Offered in partnership with Simon Fraser University’s School for the Contemporary Arts, the Indie Filmmakers Lab engages youth 14-19 in an immersive, two-week summer filmmaking workshop hosted at SFU’s downtown facilities. Participants celebrated their accomplishments at a premiere screening at The Cinematheque.

Funders included TELUS Optik Local as our presenting partner, IATSE Local 891, and North Shore Youth in Film (a coalition of the City of North Vancouver, District of North Vancouver, and District of West Vancouver, with funding support from the B.C. film industry).

•

Canada On Screen | A unique and free celebration of Canada’s sesquicentennial, this commemoration promoted several film studies screenings and workshops that focused on Canada’s best films. The project involved more than 500 participants, engaging Aboriginal and official-language minorities.

•

Status Update | Designed to encourage youth to creatively and critically engage with social media, this BC Arts Council and Vancouver Foundation-funded youth engagement project was an exciting collaboration with Surrey’s Learning Centres. Youth at four different Centres undertook media literacy and video production programs, creating video and installation work that showcased both online and at the Surrey Art Gallery.

•

Hope, Strength & Resilience | Participants in this youth addiction recovery program, run in partnership with the PLEA Community Services Society of BC and the Surrey School District, created video about themselves. Youth received training, filmed and edited the videos, and shared deeply personal stories of transformation.

•

Professional Development Workshops | Specialized training sessions, which support and prepare educators to foster in young learners media literacy and critical analysis skills. Last school year included presentations for the Surrey Teachers Association, the B.C. Alternate Education Association, and the PSA Superconference.
