C'est pas le pays des merveilles

Alice navigates the troubled waters of depression; the words of counselors and women who have experienced their own madness reinforce her story. Founded in Quebec City in 1973 by Helen Doyle, Nicole Giguère and Hélène Roy, Vidéo Femmes was a pioneering collective in feminist filmmaking and video production in Canada. Through documentaries, fiction and experimental works, it amplified women's voices and explored their experiences, struggles and aspirations. For more than forty years, the collective helped launch the careers of numerous Quebec women filmmakers and played a major role in producing and promoting bold, independent and socially engaged cinema.
