Upcoming events
Cinéma du Musée and Concordia University present a special film series to celebrate 50 years of cinema. This series is part of Concordia’s 50th anniversary, and will be a monthly rendez-vous from September 2024 to May 2025 at Cinéma du Musée. Nine feature films were curated by Dr. Martin Lefebvre, Professor and Research Chair in Film Studies at Concordia’s Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema, and Jean-François Lamarche, Head of programming at Cinémas Beaubien, du Parc et du Musée. The selected films offer a portrait of cinema in 1974 and 1975 in Quebec, in North America and abroad. The mid-’70s were a key period in the evolution of film, as art-house cinema started occupying a greater place amongst the blockbusters of the era. The film cycle showcases films that were critically acclaimed upon release, as well as lesser-known, sometimes forgotten yet influential titles that deserve to be rediscovered by cinephiles. "What became the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema was born at a time when international film culture was extremely rich. Screening the great films that our students and professors discovered while they themselves participated in the development of a film culture in our city seems like the best way to celebrate our 50th anniversary." – Dr. Martin Lefebvre 1974-75 : Cinquante ans de cinéma à Concordia

Would you like to be able to keep a permanent copy of something that's online? Whether it's your thesis project website, source material for your research, or your favourite cat video, online content is at high risk of disappearing. This workshop will show you how to preserve web content using free and open-source tools. This is an introductory-level workshop and no prior knowledge or technical skills are needed.
In this session we will engage in open dialogue with the intention of deepening skills to manage relationships specifically with colleagues.

Using scenarios, we will explore a range of approaches which contribute to a healthy work environment.

Books are an ancient form of technology that has remained central to human culture for thousands of years. While the emergence of eBooks, the internet and word-processing tools have replaced some of the functions of the book, many of us still prefer to use physical notebooks and read printed books. Join us to learn about the basic elements of book binding and come away with three notebooks that you have created yourself. While we will explore traditional methods of book binding and decoration, we will also discuss ways to incorporate emerging technologies like 3D printing and digital die cutting (available in the Technology Sandbox) into the process. This introductory workshop is open to all. By the end of the workshop, you will be able to execute saddle-stitch binding, Japanese stab stitch binding, and Coptic binding. All materials will be provided. The workshop is designed to create blank notebooks, but we also encourage participants to attend our Zine Making Basics workshop (January 30) and use the techniques learned in this session to create covers for their zines.

Zines are an accessible, easy to assemble publishing format with a rich history of activism, counterculture, and creativity. They can contain writing, artwork, and collage on any subject and have been embraced by communities as wide ranging as science fiction fans, comic book artists and feminist punk movements. This introductory workshop is open to anyone in any discipline curious about zines and zine-making. In addition to playing with the analogue processes involved in traditional zine-making, we will also explore ways of integrating emerging technologies like the tools available in the Technology Sandbox.
This workshop is designed to bring awareness to current and future researchers of the impact of research on Indigenous communities, collectives and organizations. Discussion topics include: access to communities; data management; Indigenous perspectives on and experiences with research; OCAP principles; intellectual property rights; and Indigenous research ethics and protocols. Participants will be invited to reflect on respectful and mutually beneficial ways to conduct research. They will also explore ways to facilitate Indigenous participation in research, building Indigenous research capacity and adequately preparing graduate students before they undertake research on Indigenous people and/or in their communities.

This workshop seeks to clarify the concepts of decolonization, indigenization and reconciliation, how they are different from each other while at the same time are mutually supportive of the goals in the Action Plan. It will explore ways that the Concordia community can positively contribute to Concordia’s decolonization, indigenization and reconciliation goals. It presents Indigenous perspectives and discusses obstacles to decolonization, indigenization and reconciliation such as resistance to change, racist attitudes towards Indigenous peoples, academic freedom, power and privilege. It also provides a detailed explanation of the territorial acknowledgement and discusses the protocols for a respectful and effective delivery.
This workshop is designed to provide historical and contemporary perspectives on the politics of being Indigenous.
