D is for Daring: The Women behind the Films of Studio D [Gail Vanstone]
D is for Daring: The Women behind the Films of Studio D by Gail Vanstone
Courtesy of Sumach Press
D is for Daring is the first published history of Canada's one and only feminist filmmaking studio. From its founding in 1974 to its closing in 1996, Studio D produced over 150 documentaries and won more than 100 international awards, including three Academy Awards. It was one of the most accomplished units of the National Film Board, despite being given limited funding and starting up its operations in nothing more than a janitor's storeroom.
Through personal interviews and drawing on the Studio's archival records, Vanstone introduces us to the key players behind the Studio, the reasons they chose to make the films they did, the challenges they faced working within a government institution and their many accomplishments. D is for Daring is a welcome tribute to a feminist organization whose documentaries recorded the unfolding of an exciting period of the Canadian women's movement.
