Description
| Summary: | With quiet intelligence and wry humour, retired documentary filmmaker, Kathleen Shannon speaks of the childhood that became the inspiration for her first film Goldwood , her formative years at the National Film Board, and the gradual awakening of an unshakeable determination to give women filmmakers a chance to tell their stories of the world. In 1974, she blazed the way for a new kind of filmmaking when she founded the NFB's Studio D, a place where women were free to make their own special brand of films--topical and controversial, angry, compassionate, funny and defiant. Over 22 years, the films of Studio D formed an unprecedented legacy of feminist filmmaking, winning over a hundred international awards, including three Academy Awards. It is a story of struggle, persistence and success, told on an intimate journey into the life of an exceptional woman, still illuminated by the calm, steady fire of her convictions.
