NB FILM CO-OP'S NEW SOCIAL NETWORK SITE
If there is one thing that Facebook has proven, it's the fact that people like spying on their friends' newest status updates, photos, videos, blogs and wall posts. For the past couple years social networking sites like facebook have captivated over 150 million users worldwide connecting friends and family of all ages. Don't bother picking up the phone anymore, your friend's status message tells all! Welcome to the wonderful world of social networking!
Introducing the new NBFC Online Community.
This private social network will only be made available to NB Film Co-op members and will be administered by Cat with Chafic Haddad's technical expertise.
Here members will have access to several web services such posting photos, videos, website information and important information for shoots and past films. This resource will allow NB Film members to stay in the loop with projects on the go and will put a face to some of the names we read about in the weekly newsletter.
Why would you start ANOTHER social network if you already have facebook? Well the difference here is that this new network will focus only on members of the film co-op and can be used almost as the IMDB (Internet movie database) for the NB Filmmakers Co-op. Please take a minute to explore the new website @ http://nbfilmcoop.ning.com
TWITTER AND FILMMAKERS
Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?
Twitter is a simple social networking tool which has gained much popularity in 2008 as more bloggers and internet junkies discovered a new broadcast platform which limits each post to 140 characters. Twitter can be kept as a private network between friends however, many people spy on what public conversations are happening using the Twitter search engine: www.search.twitter.com
Here you can search for topics such as "Canadian film" and anyone who has mentioned those words in a tweet will be displayed. If you dig what a person is "tweeting" about, you have the option of following their twitter feed which shows up in an aggregated friend feed.
Many argue that this form of mini-blogging is a waste of time, however if you are a content creator or the author of a blog, why not use Twitter as a means of reaching out to like minded individuals? Many artists are using Twitter to launch works of art as well as to network with other artists to share resources and information. Twitter is a great platform for bloggers who want to connect to their readers and let them know when they've updated their blog or website. Give it a try at Twitter.com and start following twitter.com/chaf
The Film Co-op staff thanks Chafic Haddad for all his hard work creating the Film Co-op network and getting the Film Co-op involved in Twitter!

GALLERY CONNEXION AND THE NB FILM CO-OP PRESENTS:
The Astounding Adventures of Strongman and Quickboy
By Peter Kingstone
When: Thursday, Jan. 22, 2009 at 7pm sharp!
Where: Doodles Café in the Charlotte Street Art Centre at 732 Charlotte Street, Fredericton NB
Cost: By donation
Join us in the intimate setting of Doodles Café at the Charlotte Street Art Centre to view The Astounding Adventures of Strongman and Quickboy, the first feature length video by Toronto artist Peter Kingstone.
The Astounding Adventures of Strongman and Quick Boy is a narrative about disease, death, love getting older, and sex. Dave and Adam have a meager existence as prostitutes in Toronto, when Dave receives a call from a friend in Sudbury. They must rush off in hopes of saving her. Adam spends most of his time writing comic books and is retelling his story as Strongman and Quickboy, as they fly of to Nebulon 5 to battle Xenon and save Princess Ariana. He has also brought along his video camera to capture the action. These two narratives coexist along the road, till they meet King Kipling, who crystallizes their concerns through pop philosophy and changes the course of the tale. The music of cougar party plays alongside the trip.
The feature was a community effort made on a very limited budget of $750.00. The video was shot on evenings and weekends in Toronto and on the road to Sudbury during the fall of 2006. The main actors are Matt Thomas (Adam/Quickboy), Richard Fourhier (Dave/Strongman) and Paris Cameron-Gardos (King Kipling) each in their first major roles. Sholem Krishtalka executes all the illustrations.
Peter will be present at the screening on the 22nd. He is in Fredericton for the installation and opening of his exhibition 100 Stories About My Grandmother, organized by Gallery Connexion and hosted by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in their lower level gallery space. For more information on the exhibition, opening, and Peter’s video workshop visit www.galleryconnexion.ca

FREDERICTON - MONDAY NIGHT FILM SERIES!
RACHEL GETTING MARRIED
January 26, 8pm at Tilley Hall, UNB Campus
Director: Jonathan Demme
Cast: Anne Hathaway, Rosemarie DeWitt, Mather Zickel, Bill Irwin, Anna Deavere Smith, Anisa George, Debra Winger
Run Time: 114 minutes
Country: USA
Year: 2008
Language: English
A Gala Presentation at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival, the latest feature by Jonathan Demme (Neil Young: Heart of Gold) is blessed with rich, multi-layered characters, unforgettable music and a revelatory performance from Anne Hathaway.
Rachel Getting Married deftly captures the considerable highs and crushing lows of a complicated American family. After an extended stint in rehab following a major family catastrophe, Kym (Hathaway, Brokeback Mountain, The Devil Wears Prada) returns to her picture-perfect Connecticut hometown to attend the elaborate wedding of her older sister Rachel (played with considerable spark by Rosemarie DeWitt, Cinderella Man). Kym’s arrival causes long-festering hurts to resurface, and the Buchmans’ family unity is soon hanging by a thread.
Issues of trust and reconciliation flow through the film, leading to discord between parents and their children, as well as among siblings and family friends, even as they all struggle to maintain a ceasefire during Rachel’s nuptials.
The raw camera style works especially well during the climactic
wedding reception sequence, which possesses a tender, homemade intimacy. But the heart of the story is the incredible
cast. Hathaway has already proven her talent in leading roles, but
here she stuns with an unsettling, remarkably convincing performance as an awkward girl with a troubled past. In a refreshingly unglamorous transformation, she portrays Kym as a woman unsteadily walking the line between frustrating self-absorption and endearing self-deprecation. The contributions from DeWitt, Bill Irwin (Across the Universe) and Debra Winger (Shadowlands, The Sheltering Sky) as the family that is so cautious about the prodigal daughter’s return brilliantly capture both the hope and hesitation we invest in those we try to love unconditionally.
Emotional, truthful and profoundly touching, Rachel Getting Married
celebrates the power of forgiveness and the resilience of family.
“
Packed with superb performances, in particular from Anne Hathaway in the lead role and Debra Winger in a small supporting turn she makes memorable, Rachel Getting Married
will undoubtedly be up for awards consideration in the major
categories.

My Winnipeg (March 1)
Have you ever wanted to relive your childhood and do things differently? Guy Maddin casts B-movie icon Ann Savage as his domineering mother in attempt to answer that question in My Winnipeg, a hilariously wacky and profoundly touching goodbye letter to his childhood hometown. A documentary or "docu-fantasia" as Maddin proclaims, that inventively blends local and personal history with surrealist images and metaphorical myths, the film covers everything from the fire at the local park which lead to a frozen lake of distressed horse heads to pivotal and factually heightened scenes from Maddin's own childhood, all
laced with a startling emotional honesty.

FREDERICTON - GALLERY CONNEXION PRESENTS:
100 Stories About My Grandmother
Peter Kingstone
January 24 to March 7, 2009 at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, 703 Queen Street, Fredericton NB
Opening Reception on Saturday, Jan. 24 from 5 to 7pm
Gallery Connexion is very pleased to present new work by Toronto-based artist Peter Kingstone. Kingstone works with video and photography, often experimenting with narrative strategy to explore ideas of personal history and the intangible nature of truth. Opening the New Year is his documentary work 100 Stories About My Grandmother, a four channel video installation weaving together portraits of male sex trade workers telling stories about their grandmothers. Sharing family stories may seem banal, but inviting sex trade workers to do so becomes a way of including them in a society all to frequently eager to reject them. Audiences are invited to spend time lounging and listening to the thoughts and memories of an often marginalized community, allowing the talked-about to talk, giving a voice to those who have been voiceless.
The Beaverbrook Art Gallery has graciously agreed to host 100 Stories About My Grandmother in their lower level gallery space at 703 Queen Street, Fredericton NB.
ABOUT THE ARTIST- Kingstone holds a Philosophy/Cultural Studies Degree from Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario, and Masters of Fine Arts from York University, Toronto, Ontario. His work has been shown across Canada and throughout the United States- most recently 100 Stories About My Grandmother in 2008 at Gallery TPW in Toronto, Ontario. He won the Untitled Artist Award in 2005 for his installation The Strange Case of Peter K. (1974-2004). And in 2007 was the recipient of a Toronto Arts Council Level 2 Media Arts Grant and an Ontario Arts Council Media Arts Council Mid-Career and Established Grant.
For more information on the exhibition please visit www.galleryconnexion.ca For more information on the artist please visit www.peterkingstone.com. If you have any questions please contact Meredith Snider at 506.454.1433 or connex@nbnet.nb.ca

FREDERICTON - LOCATIONS NEEDED
Hey everyone!
We're back and better than ever with Chris Fulton's short film Manic Chiropractic. We can't wait to get this project up and running but we need your help. We're looking for two of our key locations for the film. Cheap to rent or free would be ideal. We're looking to shoot the last weekend in April, first weekend in May, but we can be flexible if need be. Here's what we're looking for.
Chiropractor's Office - Looking for an approximately 20' x 20' reception area (enough room for a small film crew). The main feature required is a reception desk, with a few waiting-room chairs a nice bonus. The main reception area should lead to a back office for patient treatment. We aren't looking for a super-fancy set-up; this is supposed to be a family-run business. We can dress the set if necessary. An exterior entrance from a parking-lot would be ideal.
Lawyer's Office - Again, approximately 20' x 20', would be ideal, though we could go quite smaller. This office should be fairly plain - desk and a few chairs, a book-shelf, etc. We would prefer an internal office within a larger office-building (as we'd like to take some footage in the hallway outside the office door), but would also be interested in an exterior entrance as well. A home-office may also be usable, if it is somewhat separate from the other living-areas.
If you have any information about either of these locations, please send the information to Brit, the production manager, at britsparrow@gmail.com . All leads would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Chris Fulton and the Manic Chiropractic team
