Black Box Focus: Joyce Wieland

Combining ironic and irreverent humour with formal inventiveness, the films of multimedia artist Joyce Wieland interrogate a range of sociopolitical themes, from Canadian nationalism and political protest to female sexuality and the domestic sphere. We present a special selection of short films from the 1960s that observe the world with a sharp intellect and visual sensitivity. Co-curated with and introduced by Genne Speers (Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre).
