Film is an art form that has profoundly shaped our times, influencing visual arts practices, shaping our cultures, and enshrining our memories. It has become an integral part of our lives, serving as a backdrop to our experiences.
Moments of Perception, a groundbreaking book, stands as a landmark in the history of Canadian experimental filmmaking. Spanning the 1950s to the present day, it offers a comprehensive exploration of avant-garde cinema across the country, unveiling its contradictions and complexities.
Experimental film, by its very nature, is inherently political. It challenges the status quo and encourages critical thinking. In Canada, a number of renowned artists have embraced the moving image as a medium for artistic expression, allowing them to delve into explicitly political themes.
Mike Hoolboom's powerful portrayal of the horror of AIDS, Josephine Massarellas deep concern for the environment, and Joyce Wieland's satirical critique of US patriotism are just a few examples of works that have contributed to social movements and provided a platform for exploring issues of race, gender, 2SLGBTQ+ identities, and Indigenous identities.
This book features a comprehensive essay on the movement's history written by Michael Zryd, along with profiles of key filmmakers by Stephen Broomer and editors Jim Shedden and Barbara Sternberg. It offers a fresh perspective on the ever-evolving history of Canadian experimental film and moving image media arts.
In conclusion, film is a dynamic art form that has left an indelible mark on our society. Moments of Perception is a valuable contribution to our understanding of Canadian experimental filmmaking, providing a comprehensive exploration of this rich and evolving artistic movement.
