Artseverywhere Festival is pleased to partner with the Bookshelf and GBHS to bring you this Charles Officer (the Porter) film on national Film Day in Canada, this Wednesday, April 17^th.  See poster below.

Marva's sister Garvia Bailey, a close friend of the late Charles’ Officer, is co-founder of https://www.mediagirlfriends.com/about and a U of T Massey Fellow in journalism, will attend in person and moderate a Q&A with Ingrid Veninger, producer, and writer of the film.  Ingrid is a tenured professor in the department of Cinema & Media Arts at York University (attending virtually).
