The distribution department of the film group sees it more as a programming decision. He told that to the distribution department, the next thing I knew my film wasn't included in that premiere. That's not the spirit of the old Film Group. I think political correctness has taken its toll among the arts community and the Film Group is no exception. I really think that I would defend anybody against censorship.
Free expression is an important part of art and independent film making.
Another night of premieres, another dip into the visual grab bag. Running at Cinematheque from November 19 to 24 is the latest from the Winnipeg Film Group entourage. As usual, there's great quality and great variety. Greg Hanec leads the way with three experimental works, while four other directors skew more traditional narrative modes. Hanec's dual projection Exit kicks things off.
