Quote:
"[Joyce] Wieland's work as a filmmaker is complex. Her irony carries with it no edge of cynicism, her feminism is unabashedly celebratory and her vision at times can be unnervingly naïve [...]. Yet, she in no way conceded to the narrow definitions of what it was to be an artist in her era. Her 'celebration of the personal' and yearning to positively commune with others suggests a radicalism that extends far beyond the values of her time."
-- Anne Low
