Summary

Firewords is a Studio D documentary from the National Film Board of Canada about three Quebec writers, Louky Bersianik, Jovette Marchessault and Nicole Brossard, who have contributed to a distinction in women’s literature. The authors’ work  conveys the politics of language, as well as each woman’s style, concerns and rhythms. Personal and global issues including relationships, work, justice, poverty, and loneliness are covered from a feminist perspective.[1][2]

The film is presented in three parts and structured using excerpts from the writers’ works to punctuate their interviews. Additional visual resources are used to emphasize their words.[3]

Synopsis

Part 1: Louky Bersianik

Louky Bersianik is a Québec feminist author who writes to ‘create new archetypes.’ She is a satirist working in positive parody, covering themes of a better world, laughter, joy, and life.[1]

Part 2: Jovette Marchessault

Jovette Marchessault unearths the work and ideas of women whom history has erased from our collective memory. She interweaves writing with oral tradition. Her monologue Night Cows is performed by Montreal actress Pol Pelletier.[1]

Part 3: Nicole Brossard

Nicole Brossard is an we enter an avant-garde poet and leading figure of post-modern feminist writing in Québec. She writes about urban landscapes and comments on the fragmentation of women in a patriarchical landscape. Brossard has written 13 books of poetry (two have won the Governor General’s Award) and seven prose works.[1]

Significance

Firewords introduced Bersianik, Marchessault, and Brossard, three notable Quebec authors intimately tied to emerging feminist thought and practice in Canada, to an international audience.[3]

The film is currently on reserve at the Film Reference Library and CIBC Canadian Film Library at the TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) Bell Lightbox.

Praise and Criticism

Nancy Baele, from The Ottawa Citizen (1987) writes that the film is a “provocative and polemical study of three Quebec writers."[4]

Sherry Simon praises Firewords for being “over and above its portrayal of these women” and “self-consciously different and convinced of the need to open up a new cultural space."[3]
