Pauline Julien: Femme pays Pauline Julien: Femme pays Pauline Julien: Femme pays
A woman loses her voice, like a country that loses her at the same time. Pauline Julien, flamboyant singer, true poetic and political icon, has left many imprints on us. We follow her as much in her triumphs on stage, in her stance for the emancipation of the country of Quebec, as in moments of absolute intimacy with her children, but above all, at the heart of her incandescent love story with Gérald Godin. The film catches her at the moment she learns the diagnosis of degenerative aphasia that will rob her of her speech. We retrace the thread of a life made of light, work, love and heartbreak. Pauline dances, Pauline loves, Pauline yells, Pauline fucks, Pauline burns. Pauline lives. Pauline dies. What remains of her?

Doctor Woman: The Life and Times of Dr. Elizabeth Bagshaw
Elizabeth Bagshaw was a forerunner of the women's movement. As one of the first women to practise medicine in Canada, she had to overcome society's bias against women in medicine. During her seventy-year career she helped to instigate change in public opinion on that issue, as well as the issue of birth control. The film captures the personality of this remarkable woman through a contemporary interview and re-enactments of episodes from her youth. The sepia tones of the re-enactments are in keeping with the film techniques of the time, giving the viewer a strong sense of the period. The film is of special interest to persons interested in the evolution of women's roles in Canadian society.
