    With the theme of “Work”, this shorts program features innovative, provocative, and hard-to-see films from the 2010 Robert Flaherty Film Seminar. Bringing together a wide range of films and videos, the Seminar examined the ways in which artists depict and explore the daily rituals and larger implications of work as well as the changing nature of work and the workplace. Central to our visual culture, the archive is a repository for any personal memories, shared histories, objects and documents through which we revisit the history of our time. Through YouTube, Wikipedia, Creative Commons and video mash ups, we are willing participants — consciously or not —I n the creation of a new electronic archive. In this series, we explore the myriad ways in which the archive and archival and found materials are central to the works of film and video artists who are discovering the dynamic possibilities within archives, creating new inventive modes for archival practice. The filmmaker’s creative responses collected include assemblages, fabrications and recycling of materials that create new content to use as vehicles for this exploration.
