Joyce Wieland
«Pierre Vallières»
«Pierre Vallières» deals with the protagonist of the same name of the Front de Libération de Québec (FLQ), who became notorious mostly through his book on the French speaking Canadians «White Niggers of America.»
Wieland focuses on the lips of the eloquent separatist, echoing and expanding her paintings on lips and circles. The film is an essay in three parts—Mont Laurier, Québec history and race, and women's liberation—and it marks the maturation and radicalization of Wieland's politics.
