Preserving Canada's Film Heritage
Keynote Address by Colin Browne
Colin Browne is a writer and documentary filmmaker whose films, a number of them produced with the National Film Board of Canada, have been shown widely in Canadian and international festivals. His latest film is an intimate portrait of jazz legend Linton Garner produced for CBC’s Opening Night. Entitled Linton Garner: I Never Said Goodbye, it received its world premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival in October 2003 and was screened at the Sunshine Coast Film Society in June 2004.
Browne's
most recent book, Ground Water, was nominated in 2002 for a Governor-General’s
Award for poetry in English and, in 2003, for the Dorothy Livesay Award
for Poetry at the B.C. Book Prizes. He is a co-founder of the Audio-Visual
Heritage Association of British Columbia (AVBC) which was established for
the purpose of creating a moving image and sound archive in British Columbia,
and authored the first annotated catalogue of regional filmmaking in Canada,
Motion Picture Production in British Columbia, 1898-1941. He is
currently working on two new film projects and writing a history of film
production in British Columbia entitled Fugitive Events. He teaches
in the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University,
