An interview with Joyce Wieland at her Toronto studio. Wieland discusses her biography as an artist, from her initiation into animation by a breakaway group from the NFB. The interviewer dwells on Wieland's use of left-over stock and unused footage, a trend which is evident from her time at the animation studio when she would make parodies of commercials using outdated or extra film. Wieland talks about her first experience with experimental film, and her interest in domestic portraits, her body, and women behind the camera. She discusses her emergence as a women filmmaker among the New York underground, and disparages the male-dominated art world for its refusal to acknowledge the work of contemporary women filmmakers. Wieland uses her own relationship with Michael Snow as an illustration of this inequality. She talks about her resettlement in Toronto, and her appreciation of the socialist bonds of the Canadian art scene, as well as the development of Canadian themes in her work. Wieland ends the interview by discussing her plans for her practice which involves drawings of female mythological characters in the same style as her storyboards for her films.
