Docs on Bay - Under the Red Star - Oct 9
UNDER THE RED STAR
9 October 2015 | 314 Bay Street | 8pm
Director: Kelly Saxberg | 79 min | Thunder Bay, Canada
The Finnish Labour Temple at 314 Bay Street was the epicentre of community, culture and labour politics when it opened in 1910. This compelling docu-drama, in English and Finnish integrates archival footage, photos and fictionalized scenes shot on 16 mm film to bring to life the dramatic early years of Finnish immigration to Canada.
“A tremendous achievement! This beautifully crafted and utterly absorbing recreation of one of North America’s most extraordinary working-class movements is immaculately researched and elegantly presented”
- Ian McKay, Department of History, Queen’s University
Post-Screening Q&A with Director and Writer, Kelly Saxberg
Plus, live Music with Damon Dowbak and Poetry with Rauli Pohjolainen as Aku Paivio.
