What happens when a hospital and a filmmaker collaborate with homeless youth, medical staff, police officers and cyclists? In this pilot project, Katerina Cizek, is Filmmaker-in-Residence at St.
Michael’s hospital, working with partners on the frontline: doctors, nurses, researchers and patients. From local projects at the Inner City Health Unit, to global ones, FIR partners media with medicine in innovative ways. Katerina sits down with National Film Board Senior Producer, Gerry Flahive and St. Michael’s Hospital Assistant Professor Dr. Katherine Rouleau and discusses the global innovations that emerged out of this collaborative effort to reach out to communities and put media in the hands of citizens – the agents of true social change.

TheInterventionist Mediavideo is paired with CP+S On Location video Transforming Montreal: A Collaborative City, a short film by Luigi Ferrara, Director, School of Design at George Brown College that demonstrates how the design community brought the world design headquarters to Montreal, and how the urban design and development community revitalized Montreal through creating the international & multimedia district (Quartier Spectacle).

"Transforming Montreal: A Collaborative City"

Transforming Montreal: A Collaborative City tells the story of how that city became a world headquarter of design because of a shared vision. Montreal’s design community was able to mobilize public, private and arts bodies to support its bid to house a group of world renowned design organizations. The result of this collaboration is the ‘quartier international,’ a building that acts as a hub for digital media and design in the city. Designing and building the quartier international, and getting diverse interests to support it, is a testament to the power of collective efforts toward a common goal.
