SUMMARY:Film Screening:PICS Film Screening. \"Becoming Labrador\"
DESCRIPTION:The Program in International and Comparative Studies (PICS) encourages students to explore Arctic regions and culture. PICS administers the Arctic Internship Fellowship which provides $2\,000 funding for University of Michigan undergraduate students to complete internships that students secure from reputable organizations\, to create independent student-designed research projects\, or to participate in an approved study abroad program with a focus on the Arctic. Past fellowship recipients have traveled to the remote region of Happy Valley-Goose Bay\, Labrador\, Canada to participate in internship and research projects.\n   \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Program in International and Comparative Studies Arctic Internship Fellowship and Center for Southeast Asian Studies.\n\nAbout the film \"Becoming Labrador\":\nIn the stark Labrador interior\, a growing number of Filipino workers have recently landed in the small regional hub of Happy Valley-Goose Bay\, travelling halfway around the world for jobs they hope will offer their families new opportunities and a better life. \"Becoming Labrador\" follows a handful of those women and men as they make a place for themselves in Labrador’s profoundly foreign climate and culture\, and deal with the unexpected costs of living far from parents\, partners and children.\n   \n   Combining documentary footage with interpretive animation\, and bringing together the vision of three of Canada’s best young directors\, \"Becoming Labrador\" is a remarkable feat of collaborative authorship. It offers an intimate account of the radical mobility and displacement of the modern world\, and of how tenaciously people hold to their roots in the midst of fundamental change. Celebrating the ties that motivate and sustain the Filipino workers and their families\, it also reveals a subtler love affair\, as people from a tropical country find themselves falling for the North.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at is-michigan@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
