.@Telefilm_Canada: Why are you investing in producers who haven’t signed fair contracts - which protect everything from health & safety to making sure creatives, casts & crews get paid?

A MUST READ - "This country’s characteristic non-confrontational posture has permitted an executive class to standardize its incompetence to the point of collapsing an entire industry. "

[The Local Magazine (Archived Account) @TheLocal_TO]

In Toronto’s floundering arts institutions, argues @sorayaroberts, the story is always the same: “executives with disproportionately high salaries corporatizing what had once been valuable art havens into unmanageable business ventures.” https://t.co/4HJ8oFklkY

We owe a huge debt to the Black Cdn documentarians of this generation who witnessed the state demolish over and over again the ways we survive, make life, and love immeasurably on this land.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Roger McTair, the trailblazing Trinidadian-Canadian documentarian known for "Home Feeling: Struggle for a Community" (1983, w Jennifer Hodge da Silva) & "Journey to Justice" (2000). A great tree has fallen.

So the WGC (@WGCtweet) sent out an email earlier today informing all WGC writers that there will likely be a vote to strike for pretty much the same reasons the WGA did. If you are a part of the WGC, please, for the love of god, vote YES to strike.

A reddit post from someone who worked at Hot Docs explaining their perspective as to why ten programmers and the festival's artistic director announced their departures from the festival today.

[Nataleah @_Nataleah]

Solidarity with my former colleagues at Hot Docs who could've only made such a choice under great duress. Hot Docs was one my first programming gigs and I was mentored by two of the OGs on this list. My heart breaks for them but I deeply respect this principled action ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
