The View From Up Here Premiere

The Department of History is pleased to announce the premiere of The View From Up Here, a satirical and educational documentary series on the history of the Lakehead. One episode of the series will be shown at the Vox Popular Film Festival on September 18 at 7:00pm at the Definitely Superior Art Gallery. The series is the result of a collaboration among Department of History members Tom Peotto, Ron Harpelle, and Kelly Saxberg. Nathan Hatton, a former member of the department, and several former students also played roles in the development of this series. The series is an example of what can be done with “found footage,” a solid background in history, and a desire to educate. For those who cannot attend the premiere, the episode will be available from Sept 20-26 on researchtv.ca and the full series will be broadcast later this year. Bring your friends to see what can be done with a bit of history.
