In the final of our brief surveys of the work of three significant Canadian experimental filmmakers, Stephen Broomer (responsible for the publishing of works by the three artists discussed recently) returns to the show to discuss the work of Josephine Massarella (1957-2018).

Massarella's career spans works involving various formally radical approaches to filmmaking. From durational works like One Woman Waiting and Interference to more restless works using flicker such as Light Study and No End, the central concerns of her work remain consistent, including feminist and ecological concerns as well as a strong sense of kinship and shared humanity.

Broomer has published her entire filmography on a blu ray disc now available from Black Zero. In this episode, Stephen discusses Massarella's work, his friendship with the filmmaker and reflects on various personal responses to her work.
