    QPIRG MCGILL WORKING GROUPS 2014-2015 Annual Reports Working Group Annual Reports 2014-2015 BARRIERE LAKE SOLIDARITY Annual Report 2014-2015 BLS is a volunteer collective that supports Barriere Lake, an Algonquin community 4 hours north of Montreal, which has been trying to regain control over their traditional territories, protect their forests from clear-cut logging, and fend off the canadian government’s interference in their traditional governance system. They do popular education, organize demonstrations and direct action, and are developing a community radio station on the reserve. Contact: [email protected] In the past year, Barriere Lake Solidarity (BLS) has assisted the Algonquins of Barriere Lake on several fronts: raising awareness of the community’s struggle, media outreach, managing donations including emergency food relief, reintegration into the Algonquin Nation Secretariat, and participation in AFNQL Chief’s Assembly. EVENTS Honour Your Word, a documentary by Martha Stiegman that portrays life behind the barricades for the Algonquins of Barriere Lake, continued being used as an educational tool. The films were screened several times in the past year in Toronto, Ottawa and Halifax followed by discussions with community representatives, BLS members and the filmmaker. Last August, ABL community spokespeople took part in two events BLS organized at the first Peoples Social Forum held in Ottawa: a screening of Honour Your Word documentary, which we co-hosted with Cinema Politica; and a workshop on the Barriere Lake-Canada-Quebec’s Trilateral Agreement and Onakinakewin (ABL’s customary governance code). A week before Christmas, we learned that 28 families in the community have not received their social assistance for 3-6 months.

  • “Bethune and the Canadian Political Biopic” by Brian Mcilroy [Delivered
    “Bethune and the Canadian Political Biopic” By Brian McIlroy [Delivered at the Film Studies Association of Canada Annual conference, University of Alberta, Edmonton, 27 May 2000] Philip Borsos, the B.C. filmmaker who died at the early age of 41 in 1995, will be remembered in any future Canadian film history as the director of the canonical The Grey Fox (1982) and, I suspect, the enormous co-production with China and France that resulted in Bethune—The Making of a Hero that was released in 1990/91 after four years of interrupted production and post-production. Figures that I have found suggest that at $18 million (Canadian) the film biography was the most expensive Canadian film ever made. Our national agencies, Telefilm and the CBC, were heavily involved in the support of this project, and it’s not unreasonable to suggest that the film and its production history provide us with a meditation on the nature of Canadian heroism, and how contingent it is on a combination of personal, governmental, external and unforeseen passions and actions. In thinking about Borsos’ film, I was drawn to the history of Biopics, and in this area we are well served by George Custen’s 1992 book on the subject. Custen’s focus is on classical Hollywood film from 1927-1960, utilizing a cultural and structuralist methodology to try to get a handle on nearly 3,000 biographical films from the major and minor studios. Custen claims only three of these films were on a Canadian subject, two of them on the Dionne Quintuplets.
