Artist’s Talk featuring Bogdan Anifrani-Fedach and Ian Keteku, of the film To Our Future Ancestors

Wednesday, February 11, 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Artist’s Talk featuring Bogdan Anifrani-Fedach and Ian Keteku, co-directors of the animated film To Our Future Ancestors 

Alanis Obomsawin Theatre, free admission with reservation, bilingual event, talk given in English

Get a preview of the film before its release later this year and meet its creators: Togolese-Ukrainian-Canadian filmmaker, illustrator and NFB Alambic * program alumnus Bogdan Anifrani-Fedach; and Ghanaian-Canadian filmmaker, poet and educator Ian Keteku. A 3D-printed zoetrope, cutouts, ink and clay on glass, sand, paint… The co-directors will be sharing the creative journey (and the 10 different animation techniques!) behind their new Afrofuturist-inspired film, To Our Future Ancestors, a moving animated allegory about lineage and enduring resilience across millennia. 

Stick around after this talk for a friendly get-together with the filmmakers at the NFB Space, where you can mingle over a few tasty bites.
