De pecheur a pecheur

Item consists of two video recordings, one in english "Fisherman to fisherman" and the other in french "De pecheur a pecheur". The video was descirbed by CFAT as: "Until 1976, with the overthrow of the Sandinista regime, the Nicaraguan government paid little attention to their in-shore fisheries. Now fishermen face the challenge of improving their methods and distribution structure. Through creative sharing of knowledge and equipment, Atlantic Canadian fishermen and OXFAM are helping Nicaraguan fishermen improve their industry. Fisherman to Fisherman is a touching and thorough document of the active professional and cultural exchange between two fishermen of these two nations."

Debert bunker : by invitation only : [digital video] / Liz MacDougall

Item is a 30-minute video produced and directed by Liz MacDougall while she was a member at the Centre for Art Tapes and a student at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.

In this video documentary, set outside a military base in Debert, Nova Scotia on 29 February 1984, five women's Peace groups converge to call attention to an Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) test drill coordinated with multiple NATO bunkers simulating a nuclear attack on North America. For this drill, selected officials (329 men and only 11 women) were invited into Debert’s underground bunker.

At its core, NATO’s goal during a nuclear attack was to maintain continuity of Government with no provision for the protection of the population they govern. Outside the bunker, members of five non-violent feminist activist groups point out, through street theatre, rituals, waving signs and shouting, the deadly irony of this NATO strategy to rehearse for nuclear war.

Inter-cut with scenes of the day-long protest are interviews with representatives from each group comically punctuated with news footage, photographs, live radio, and film clips explaining nuclear defense strategy. Throughout this day of action women debunk the NATO strategy which would have us believe we can survive nuclear war and ultimately demand an end to the nuclear threat and to militarism.

The documentary features interviews with John Bouris, Ginny Green, Kate McKenna, Donna Smyth, Deborah Westerberg, and CBC’s Peter Gzowski interviewing Dr. Mutandis (played by Pat Kipping) live on location at Debert.

Documentary video was originally produced on U-matic 3/4 inch tape. MacDougall digitally remastered the video in 2014.

Dinner

Item is a video work created by Dean Brousseau in 1984. Dinner is an experimental documentary using a universal family event as its focus.Framed in snap-shot style, the video seems to arbitrarily “crop off” the participants, saving anonymity. This tape allows the viewer to concentrate on details of inpromptu etiquette and casual conversation around the dinner table, until, in the end, as with any family event, the camera is brought out to take pictures. On the cue “okay, smile!” the photographs taken are tossed one by one into the video frame, revealing at last the dinner participants in fuzzy Polaroids.
