Ha! Ha! Ha! A Laugh in the Gallery
Saturday, January 19, 2:30 ­ 4:30pm
Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art
639 Hornby Street, Vancouver
Admission by donation (suggested donation $5.00)

Everyone likes to laugh, especially in the middle of a long winter. In many
Aboriginal cultures, winter is the time for stories and sharing. Come share
a sweet, funny, silly yet thought-provoking afternoon of short films that we
made, plus others we admire for their unique humour.
 
We are especially proud of the short films made by children about what they
find funny or what simply makes them smile. The Smiling Kids¹ Media Lab
brought together Aboriginal film professional mentors with children to
collaborate in the making of short videos. The afternoon will also showcase
short films we found near and far that bring to life Aboriginal humour in
living colour. And we invite you ­ the audience - to share a funny story or
funny, family-friendly joke in an interactive afternoon.
 
So if you want to laugh, guffaw, giggle or just cheer the work of future and
established filmmakers, then join us at the Bill Reid Gallery, 639 Hornby
Street at 2:30pm on Saturday, January 19, 2013.

The mentors for the Smiling Kids¹ Media Lab are hip-hop stylist Ostwelve
(Ron Dean Harris) and media mogul Cheyanna Kootenhayoo, two emerging media
stars with lots to say and with lots of respect for our children and their
dreams.
 
This is the fifth event in a series of seven that explores Aboriginal Humour
in Aboriginal Media. Programmed by award-winning filmmaker and writer
Loretta Todd, who believes the truth might make you smile.
