The Institute of Urban Studies and SpeakUp Winnipeg are presenting a special screening of “Souvenirs”, three remarkable short films about Winnipeg made from rare and mostly forgotten archival footage.
Souvenirs takes viewers on a fascinating journey to the past to see Winnipeg built from “Sand and Stone”, survive the 1950 flood in “Watermarks”, and celebrate its 75th anniversary in “Waiting for the Parade.”
Hear the story behind the films from filmmaker Paula Kelly and City of Winnipeg Archivist Jody Baltessen.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion on the past, present and future of the City of Winnipeg as our city prepares for the 21st Century with the SpeakUp Winnipeg process and the Our Winnipeg plan.
