The World in Ten Blocks (http://theworldintenblocks.com) is an interactive web documentary that explores the diversity of Bloorcourt through the stories of its immigrant small business owners and was launched online with The Globe and Mail in November 2016. The creators will present a walk-through of their project and discuss the process of taking a DIY interactive documentary from concept to release.

Marc Serpa Francoeur and Robinder Uppal are documentary filmmakers and interactive producers whose current work builds on lifelong interests in immigration and diversity issues. They both hold MFAs in Documentary Media from Ryerson University, where The World in Ten Blocks began as their thesis work.

Our weekly civic tech hacknights bring together designers, coders, urban planners, government staff, mappers, policy-makers, students, communications strategists, and all other Torontonians who share an interest in making Toronto more responsive, prosperous, sustainable and equitable, through design, tech, and data. (Coders are welcome, but you don’t have to be a coder to contribute!) Come and be part of it!

Agenda:

6:30-7: Welcome and intros
7-7:30: Presentation and Q&A/discussion
7:30-9: Breakout groups (make something!)
