Gerda Cammaer has degrees in Communication Studies, Film Studies and Film Production. Both as a maker, curator and scholar she specializes in experimental and documentary film. Her films have been shown at festivals and film screenings internationally. Following her Ph.D. thesis (completed in 2010), a research-creation project about the importance of experimental film practices in times of accelerated technological changes, she directed her attention to various forms of ephemeral cinema and forgotten film histories. With Zoe Druick (SFU) she co-edited Cinephemera: Archives, Ephemeral Cinema, and New Screen Histories in Canada (McGill University Press, Fall 2014). Her current research focuses on the revival of microcinema—various low-budget independent short films inspired by the creative possibilities of new moving image technology—and their lineage with historical forms of alternative short films and videos, particularly travel films. Gerda is the co-director of the Documentary Media Research Centre (DMRC) located in the School of Image Arts. She is the recipient of a Faculty Scholarly, Research and Creative Activity award in 2013 and the Outstanding Contribution to Graduate Education award in 2016.

The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) is a national advocacy organization representing First Nation citizens in Canada, which includes more than 900,000 people living in 634 First Nation communities and in cities and towns across the country.
In 1982, the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) was created as a result of movements to restore chiefs as the voice of First Nations in a Canada-wide deliberative assembly. Prior to that time, the Canada-wide representation of Indigenous peoples in Canada occurred through the National Indian Brotherhood (NIB), which centred on representation through provincial organizations (several of these organizations began as early as the 1920s, and many were based on political traditions dating from before European contact). The NIB had succeeded the National Indian Council (founded 1961) and represented Aboriginal interests throughout the 1960s and 1970s under leaders Walter Dieter, George Manuel and Noel Starblanket. In the late 1970s, First Nations increasingly pushed for the rights of self-government. In 1979, hundreds of First Nations met in London, England, and determined to establish a new organization, and to stop patriation. Hundreds of chiefs met in Ottawa the following year, outlining their relationships with Canada and with one another in a manifesto entitled the Declaration of First Nations (signed in December, 1980). At the National Indian Brotherhood general assembly in 1982, the Assembly of First Nations was officially founded.
