Scope and content
Fonds consists of records created and accumulated by Claire Prieto and Roger McTair as individual film makers and as a production team, from the years following their arrival in Canada until present day. The majority of the records consist of sound and moving images, as well as photographs and textual records relating to projects undertaken by Prieto and McTair.
The records pertain to the following productions: Home to Buxton, It's Not An Illness, Different Timbres, Some Black Women, Jennifer Hodge: The Glory and the Pain, Jane Finch Again!, Children Are Not the Problem, Black Nova Scotia, and projects related to employment equity. Also included are research and publicity files accumulated by Prieto and McTair and those concerning their production company.
Prieto and McTair's films have been screened in several film festivals, including Black International Film Festival (Indiana, U.S.A.), Yorkton Film Festival (Yorkton, Saskatchewan), Pan-African Film and T.V. Festival (Ouagadougu, Burkina Faso), 12th International Women's Film Festival (France), American Educational Film and Video Festival (New York), Toronto International Film Festival, Black Light Film Festival (Chicago), Margaret Mead Film Festival (New York), and the Atlantic Film Festival (Halifax).
The fonds is arranged into eleven series primarily based on the films and documentaries produced by Prieto and McTair.
