Synopsis
"It’s true. The Winnipeg Film Group is not teeming with women filmmakers. Hardly surprising given about 90% of the film industry is still dominated by men. But despite their low numbers, the women at our co-op have always managed to keep up with their male counterparts, artistically and technically. Until the late eighties, however, few of them made their own films, and those who did made documentaries. Public policy and the democratization of filmmaking technology is now changing the production landscape. For the past 15 years, a distinctly female voice can be heard. Out There. And at the Film Group, that voice is getting louder."
(Carole O'Brien, guest curator)
The forth DVD in a historical collection from the Winnipeg Film group, Ladies First features eight short films from Winnipeg Film Group women filmmakers. The DVD is guest curated by Carole O'Brien (French Ship) and includes audio commentary with the filmmakers.
