Louise H. Forsyth
Louise H. Forsyth Self-Portrait of the Artist as Radical Feminist in Experimental Theatre: Joie by Pol Pelletier Pol Pelletier (comédienne, metteure en scène, dramaturge, ensei- gnante, fondatrice de théâtre, et directrice artistique) est l’une des rares femmes artistes du théâtre qui a publié et performé des oeuvres théoriques sur le jeu. Elle s’est donné l’objectif radical de changer la pratique du théâtre, et du monde même. Elle voulait que les femmes découvrent des mythologies qui résonnent avec leurs expériences et qu’elles arrivent ainsi à jouer des rôles forts et authentiques. De telles mythologies et de tels rôles restent encore rares sur les scènes d’au- jourd’hui.À la base de la pratique et de la position théorique de Pelletier figure la conviction que les femmes doivent se débarrasser d’idéologies et de conventions reçues qui limitent de façon dange- reuse le plein exercice de l’esprit, du corps et de la voix. Entre 1975 et 1985 Pelletier s’engageait vigoureusement au théâtre expérimental et à la création collective, jusqu’au point de fonder le premier théâtre féministe permanent du Canada, le Théâtre Expérimental des Femmes. Joie, créée en 1990, est la première pièce d’une trilogie dramatique où Pelletier fait rétrospectivement le point sur les réussi- tes éblouissantes et les déceptions écrasantes de cette période expéri- mentale. C’est la re-création d’une tranche de sa vie. C’est en même temps une performance dramatique et un programme théorique pour le renouveau non-sexiste du théâtre. Ça fait dix ans que je rêve de voir sur une scène des person- nages féminins “autres”, l’explosion d’une mythologie fémi- nine,forte,grande,inédite.(“Histoire d’une féministe,” Trac 92)1 CHANGER LE MONDE. -

NATIONAL FILM BOARD of CANADA FEATURED at Moma
The Museum off Modern Art 50th Anniversary NO. 16 ID FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 3, 1981 DOCUMENTARY FILMS FROM THE NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA FEATURED AT MoMA NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA: A RETROSPECTIVE is a three-part tribute presented by The Museum of Modern Art in recog nition of NFBC's 41 years Of exceptional filmmaking. PART TWO: DOCUMENTARY FILMS, running from March 26 through May 12 in the Museum's Roy and Niuta Titus Auditorium, will trace the develop ment of the documentary form at NFBC, and will be highlighted by a selection of some of the finest films directed by Donald Brittain, whose work has won wide acclaim and numerous awards. PART TWO: DOCUMENTARY will get off to an auspicious start with twelve of Donald Brittain's powerful and unconventional portraits of exceptional individuals. Best known in this country for "Volcano: An Inquiry Into The Life and Death of Malcolm Lowry" (1976), Brittain brings his personal stamp of creative interpretation to such subjects as America's love affair with the automobile in "Henry Ford's America" (1976) ; the flamboyant Lord Thompson of Fleet Street (the newspaper baron who just sold the cornerstone of his empire, The London Times) in "Never A Backward Step" (1966); Norman Bethune, the Canadian poet/ doctor/revolutionary who became a great hero in China when he marched with Mao ("Bethune" 1964); and the phenomenal media hysteria sur rounding the famous quintuplets in "The Diorme Years" (1979) . "Memo randum" (1965) accompanies a Jewish glazier from Tcronto when he takes his son back to the concentration camp where he was interned, an emotion al and historical pilgrimage of strong impact and sensitivity. -

In his first drypoints, Dine brought a fresh and imaginative attitude to printmaking, directly relating this work to his "happenings" and construc tion/canvases. He was one of the first to return to the oKJ art of hand-coloring prints, thereby producing a body of work of infinite variety. His most recent work has an expressive, tor tured character that expands and may reorient ideas regarding Dine's art and that of his generation.

5. David Hanley – Conceptualizing Quebec Cinema
Conceptualizing Quebec National Cinema: Denys Arcand’s Cycle of Post-Referendum Films as Case Study By David Hanley ver the past half century, Quebec cinema has grown from small beginnings into an industry that regularly produces feature films that win critical Orecognition and festival prizes around the globe. At the same time, it is one of the few places in the world where local products can occasionally outdraw Hollywood blockbusters at the box office. This essay analyzes the Quebec film industry, examines what types of films it produces and for what audiences, and explores the different ways domestic and international audiences understand its films. The pioneer figure in introducing Quebec cinema to mainstream audiences beyond the province is writer- director Denys Arcand. His cycle of films dealing with the failure of his generation to achieve independence for Quebec offers both a paradigm of a type of film newly important to the Quebec industry, and a case study in explaining how and why certain films cross borders into foreign markets. Of particular interest in this essay are Arcand’s Le déclin de l’empire américain (1986), Jésus de Montréal (1989) and Les invasions barbares (2003), all of which had successful commercial releases in international markets, including the United States, a rare occurrence for a Quebec film. One reason this international popularity is of interest is that the films’ politics, central to their narratives, were and are controversial in Quebec. However, this political aspect is largely invisible to non-Quebec audiences, who appreciate the films for their other qualities, a tendency that can be seen in a handful of recent Quebec films that have also received international commercial distribution. -

Present for the opening of this series on June 1 will be Marcel Bergeron, Delegate General of Quebec in the U.S.A., Jean-Pierre Bastien, officer in charge of Canadian films for the Cinematheque quebecoise in Montreal, and five of the filmmakers: Jean Beaudin, Andre Brassard, Jean-Claude Labrecque, Jean-Guy Noel and Frank Vitale.

Jean-Claude Labrecque, director of the official docu mentary on the 1976 Olympics, is represented by "The Vultures," about a newly orphaned seminary student confronted by the politics of inheritance. Hugues Mignault and Ronald Brault's "Nov 15," completed almost overnight, covers the 1976 election victory of Quebec's Premier Rene Levesque and the Parti Quebecois on a platform favoring independence for the province. In addition, interviews conducted in New York last year with Betty Friedan, Kate Millet and Rita Mae Brown by three Canadian women filmmakers, Luce Guilbeault, Nicole Brossard and Margaret Wescott, are featured in "Some American Feminists." New York's country music audience will be interested in the Cajun and Creole music which Michel Brault and Andre' NO. -
