History
On March 01, 1979, the New Brunswick Filmmakers' Co-operative
came into existence. The early years brought together a group of
New Brunswick filmmakers, provided them with a pool of equipment,
working space and a sense of
camaraderie.
It also offered basic
workshops.
When many of the pioneer filmmakers moved away, a new wave of
filmmakers arrived. The Co-op's equipment resources grew to
include an Eclair NPR camera, a Nagra tape recorder and a
Steenbeck flat editing table.
Workshops were offered with NB and outside
professionals such as: Kevin Matthews, Tony Merzetti, Janet
Clarke, Chris Campbell, Errol Williams, Bill MacGillivray, Don McBrearty,
Jean-Pierre Lefebvre and Giles Walker.
Today the Co-op boasts a membership of 200 strong. It's
equipment resource has also grown to include a Super 16 AATON XTR,
non-linear sound editing suites, and picture editing suites as
well as digital cameras.
The Co-op is also a member of the Independent Media Arts
Alliance of Canada. The Alliance represents over 94 film, video,
exhibition and distribution centres throughout Canada.
