Administrative history
Triad Film Productions is an independent Halifax-based film production company founded in 1980 by Peter d'Entremont. It was incorporated in March 1991 under the Companies Act. D'Entremont, also company president, had begun his career as an assistant director and production manager for several feature films and later became an award-winning director for the documentaries "Ebb Tide" (CBC's Land and Sea series), "Iceberg Alley" (CBC) and "Marshwinds". He also worked on an assortment of Canadian and international movie co-productions such as "The Little Kidnappers" (1990), "the Sound and the Silence" (1991), and "Squanto: A Warrior's Tale" (1993). For Triad Films he has directed and produced many projects dealing with significant social, cultural and heritage issues, such as "Acadian Spirit: The Legacy of Philippe d'Entremont," "Bronwen & Yaffa: Moving towards Tolerance," "The Illuminated Life of Maud Lewis," "Place of the Boss-Utshimasits," and "Cecil's Journey," as well as producing an arctic film trilogy, "Songs in Stone," "Nuliajuk" and "Diet of Souls". Triad films has won a number of awards at regional, national and international film festivals. Triad Films co-produced with NFB three films on teaching peace ("Waging Peace," "Learning Peace" and "Teaching Peace"), which have been popular in the schools of Nova Scotia. The first two films in the series have been packaged into an educational toolkit for teachers and students, and the third film, which focuses on Hetty Van Gurp, president and founder of Peaceful Schools International and her recent work in the former Yugoslavia, has inspired many students to work to promote international peace.
