[Frameworks] Looking for Louise Bourque

[Amanda Christie]

thanks miriam.... i'll do that on monday.

i was actually hoping to get a hold of her this weekend (super short  
notice i know!) for a time sensitive screening i'm putting together  
and the program print deadline is monday.... i just heard last night  
that she moved back to the province, and that's why i hadn't tried to  
contact her earlier.... because the program is very region specific....

i'm researching a programming experimental film works specifically  
made in atlantic canada.  we don't have a single distributor in these  
four atlantic provinces (there was one between 1985 and 1995.... but  
no longer), and no cinematheques... however there are six production  
centres (film co-ops etc)  and a lot of artists making work... but  
very few of these artists are exhibiting and screening their work,  
either within or beyond the region... people seem to make their work,  
then transfer it to dvd (shooting off a wall) and trade DVDs between  
friends, screen work in backyards, etc... very DIY-grassroots- 
underground style.... but the work just doesn't go much further than  
that and it's a shame because a lot of it is quite lovely... and i  
can't tell you how many artists i've spoken to here who have actually  
lost their prints and negs!.... they make these beautful films, screen  
them a few times, and then they go onto a shelf or in a box... never  
to a distributor.... and then.... well.... there are lots of artists  
making work here... but very little dissemination going on.... so i  
want to try to help with that side of things by programming and  
screening as much work as possible here in the region and then touring  
it beyond.

anyhow i thought that it would be nice to screen some work made by  
more established and canonical filmmakers from this region alongside  
some of the more recent unsung heroes....
