About DBpedia

Challenge for Change (French: Societé Nouvelle) was a participatory film and video project created by the National Film Board of Canada in 1967, the Canadian Centennial. Active until 1980, Challenge for Change used film and video production to illuminate the social concerns of various communities within Canada, with funding from eight different departments of the Canadian government. The impetus for the program was the belief that film and video were useful tools for initiating social change and eliminating poverty.

dbo:abstract Challenge for Change (French: Societé Nouvelle) was a participatory film and video project created by the National Film Board of Canada in 1967, the Canadian Centennial. Active until 1980, Challenge for Change used film and video production to illuminate the social concerns of various communities within Canada, with funding from eight different departments of the Canadian government. The impetus for the program was the belief that film and video were useful tools for initiating social change and eliminating poverty. As Druik says, "The new program, which was developed in tandem with the new social policies, was based on the argument that participation in media projects could empower disenfranchised groups and that media representation might effectively bring about improved political representation." Stewart, quoting Jones (1981) states "the Challenge for Change films would convey messages from 'the people' (particularly disadvantaged groups) to the government, directly or through the Canadian public." In total, the program would lead to the creation of over 200 films and videos: approximately 145 works in English and more than 60 in French. The collection notably included 27 films by Colin Low about life on Fogo Island, Newfoundland, produced in 1967. Known collectively as The Fogo Process, these Fogo Island films had an enormous impact on the future direction of the program, and were created thanks to the vision of Newfoundland academic , who saw a need for a community media project as early as 1965. Started by John Kemeny, Colin Low, Fernand Dansereau and Robert Forget, and later run by George C. Stoney, the Challenge for Change program was designed to give voice to the "voiceless." A key aspect of Challenge for Change was the transfer of control over the filmmaking process from professional filmmakers to community members, so that ordinary Canadians in underrepresented communities could tell their own stories on screen. Community dialogue and government responses to the issues were crucial to the program and took precedence over the "quality" of the films produced. The French-language Societé Nouvelle program was established under the direction of executive producer Léonard Forest. As the program developed, responsibility for the film production was put increasingly into the hands of community members, who both filmed events and had a say in the editing of the films, through advance screenings open only to those who were the subjects of the films. The program was the subject of a 1968 NFB documentary. It was also explored in an episode of the NFB Pioneers series on the Documentary Channel. It is the focus of a collection of essays and archival documents edited by Thomas Waugh, Michael Brendan Baker, and Ezra Winton, Challenge for Change: Activist Documentary at the National Film Board of Canada (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2010). (en) Société nouvelle (anglais : Challenge for Change) était un projet de film et de vidéo participatif créé par l'Office national du film du Canada en 1967. Actif jusqu'en 1980, Société nouvelle a utilisé la production cinématographique et vidéo pour éclairer les préoccupations sociales de diverses communautés au Canada, grâce au financement de huit ministères différents du gouvernement canadien. L'impulsion pour le programme était la conviction que le film et la vidéo étaient des outils utiles pour amorcer le changement social et éliminer la pauvreté. Au total, le programme Société nouvelle conduira à la création de plus de 200 films et vidéos : environ 145 œuvres en anglais et plus de 60 en français. La collection comprend notamment 27 films de Colin Low sur la vie sur l'île Fogo, Terre-Neuve, produits en 1967. Connus collectivement sous le nom de The Fogo Process, ces films de l'île Fogo ont eu un impact énorme sur l'orientation future du programme et ont été créés grâce à la vision de l'universitaire terre- neuvien Donald Snowden, qui a vu le besoin d'un projet de médias communautaires dès 1965. Lancé par John Kemeny, Colin Low, Fernand Dansereau et Robert Forget, et plus tard dirigé par George C. Stoney, le programme Société nouvelle (alias Challenge for Change) a été conçu pour donner la parole aux « sans voix ». Un aspect clé de Société nouvelle était le transfert du contrôle sur le processus de réalisation d'un film des cinéastes professionnels aux membres de la communauté, afin que les Canadiens ordinaires des communautés sous-représentées puissent raconter leurs propres histoires à l'écran. Le dialogue communautaire et les réponses du gouvernement aux problèmes étaient cruciaux pour le programme et prenaient le pas sur la « qualité » des films produits. L'émission de langue française Société Nouvelle a été mise sur pied sous la direction du producteur exécutif Léonard Forest . Au fur et à mesure que le programme se développait, la responsabilité de la production cinématographique était de plus en plus confiée aux membres de la communauté, qui à la fois filmaient les événements et avaient leur mot à dire dans le montage des films, grâce à des projections préalables ouvertes uniquement à ceux qui étaient les sujets des films. L'émission a fait l'objet d'un documentaire de l'ONF en 1968. Elle a également été explorée dans un épisode de la série Pionniers de l'ONF sur la chaîne Documentary Channel . Il fait l'objet d'une collection d'essais et de documents d'archives édités par Thomas Waugh, Michael Brendan Baker et Ezra Winton, Challenge for Change: Activist Documentary at the National Film Board of Canada ( McGill-Queen's University Press, 2010).
