ABSTRACT
This 1971 interview conducted by Canadian feminist film scholar and experimental filmmaker Kay Armatage with Canadian experimental filmmaker Joyce Wieland traces her history of working in the New York underground scene in New York in the 1960s, while there with her artist husband and filmmaker Michael Snow. The interview also addresses the limited roles for women filmmakers at the time, and foreshadows her later work in feature filmmaking, offering context for Wieland’s commitment to the representation of Canadian identity and its intersections with women’s filmmaking. Wieland postulates a distinctly feminist Canadian approach to filmmaking at a time where Canadian identity itself was being renegotiated.
