Film Screening of Joyce Wieland: Artist on Fire

Concerned with the aesthetic perspective of women, filmmaker and multimedia artist Joyce Wieland (b. Toronto, 1931 - 1998) explored issues of nationalism, sexuality and ecology throughout her thirty year career. This film, directed by Kay Armatage, looks at Wieland’s involvement in structural filmmaking with Michael Snow and Hollis Frampton in the 1960s, and the use of domestic and craft materials in her work.
