Structured like a master class in film engraving, Loïc Darses' SCRATCHES OF LIFE: THE ART OF PIERRE HÉBERT is a tribute to the pioneering animator, whose scratch-on-film technique has long served as a vessel for his restless artistic exploration, and a testament to the enduring power of creative reinvention.

Black and white poster for "SCRATCHES OF LIFE: THE ART OF PIERRE HÉBERT" Poster background is black. Type at the top left reads "THE ART," type on the top right reads "OF." In the middle, weighted closer to the top of the poster, is a portrait of Pierre Hébert from behind. He's an older balding man. Wisps of his hair is fuzzy around his head. He's looking away and towards a scratched background. Beneath his shoulders, two white laurels are shown: Official Selection Annecy Festival 2024 Out of Competition and the closing film laurel for Montreal's Sommets du cinéma d'animation 2024. Below this is a credit block in white font. Followed by "A National Film Board of Canada Production." Beneath that "SCRATCHES OF LIFE" is written. On the bottom left reads "Pierre" and on the bottom right it reads "Hébert."

Good morning from Minneapolis. It's -13℉, the winds are light from the northwest, the barometer is Very Dry, and visibility is 10 miles at the international airport.

Some schools are closed, including those in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Rochester.

One more day of this cold before a warming trend begins.

No precipitation expected over the next 7 days.

"They say you're not a real bike courier in Edmonton until you do a couple of winters. …

"Why do we do it when it's minus 40 and the wind is blowing and we're cranky and cold? Why do we do it?"

Still image from the film "Snow Warrior" about a bicycle courier in Edmonton, Alberta. Mariah is negotiating "brown sugar" snow on a busy street. "People hate us. They hate when we're on the roads. They hate when we're on the sidewalks. Drivers tend to not think about anyone but themselves."

What does it mean to be a good man—and how do you raise one? 🤔

They say fatherhood changes everything. For filmmaker Justin Simms, becoming a dad in 2016—right as Trump took office—it sparked a profound reflection on how boys are raised and how masculinity is modeled.

Nick's world 🌎 👨‍🦯

This is going to ruffle some feathers but its my opinion. Personally, I believe its possible for #Blind people to be employed, and not just in blindness specific jobs that don't pay well enough to be worth the work, no, I believe its possible for blind people to be employed into the mainstream at high levels, and by mainstream, i mean both government and private sector, and I'm not talking 5 figures here, which isn't bad, i won't lie there, but no, 6 figures and above. I also personally believe that largely, the blind community has essentially given up. I think its a matter of 3 things, 1, learned helplessness, why try when everyone else has failed so logically, there's no point when only less than 1 percent of the community makes it to those positions? I know that's what many people think and while I'm not saying its easy to do, I believe that its not as grim as people say it is because let's be honest, blind people have skills, bline people have the same abilities as anyone to do well at very high level jobs, and blind people can live rich lives filled with great things, but its that learned helplessness holding many back. The second thing is lack of connections, while the #NFB and #ACB are good organizations in terms of advocacy, they are having problems in terms of real tangible programming that allows blind people to get into these high level positions and that's due to 2 things, scandals, and organizational leadership mismanagement. We can't have the spector of these scandals that I won't go into especially with the NFB continue to block our path to success, and its important to regain the powers we once had in the world, because right now, the blindness specific organizations are much weaker than they were even in the 70's and 80's. My dad told me of a time when the NFB had the power to attract congressional leaders and now they can't even do that for their conventions, its mostly lower level government officials now. The third problem I see is that we continue to not push the making of our own paths, business isn't taught, learning how to affectively market ourselves if we want jobs or learning how to start businesses just isn't a thing and I've seen it, how many blind business owners are there? I know of very few personally, and that's sad because if we can't get jobs, why not make our own jobs? why must some people simply give up and continue living on the government's dime when blindness is perfectly able to be dealt with, especially in 2024? I've heard some people say well, its not worth it,or, its risky or its easier not to work and get a check than it is to do any of these things and to that I say, sure, its easier but is it a better life? Who wants to live in their parents house when they're 50? I know i don't. In the end, I'm not hear to judge anyone, that's not why I made this post, I made this post to point out that its actually possible to get to where you want to go if work is put into it. Hell, i wouldn't have my job now if I didn't do anything to make it happen, that and connections help, oh, and one more thing, we need to bring Braille literacy up, I mean by a whole lot, because if you can't read braille, you can't read, end of story, and I am not budging on this point and yes, I'm a fluent braille reader. If you can't read, you'll only get shit jobs, its just the deal and nothing will convince me otherwise. WE fix these things and we'll be alright, but it starts with the mentality, first and formost because without a better outlook on things, absolutely nothing gets done and that leads to more problems down the road. We're already not taken seriously by society and I'm sorry to say but that's our fault as a populous, and not necessarily all the sighted people's problems, even though I have a lot to say about the sighted population. Thank you for reading/listening.
