During the spring semester of 2010 and again in 2011, students in MLL 495/695 Intercultural Video Production worked with residents of Arbutus and surrounding communities on a collaborative video project. In “Arbutus Stories” residents reflect on their life-long association with the community through digital stories. Each resident teamed with a student to create short movies combining photos and other imagery with recollections of people and places.
The project was conceived as a celebration of the opening of the new Arbutus Public Library in September, 2010. The videos are on display on kiosks throughout the new space.
You can read more about the project in the Arbutus Patch and the Arbutus Times.
