Quote about Kay Armatage
"The films of Kay Armatage illustrate precisely how developments in feminist theory have a direct bearing on practice. Generally, there is a direct correlation between current developments in theory and Armatage's work. Nevertheless, her films do not fit into the category of films designated 'theory films' which had such a tremendous influence in the late Seventies. The range and diversity of Armatage's output make it possible to pinpoint influences—her films often embody the preoccupations of the day."
-- Kass Banning

Quote about Kay Armatage [in French]
"Professeur d'études cinématographiques, critique et programmatrice au Festival of Festivals de Toronto, [Kay Armatage] a contribué à la création d'une culture cinématographique féministe au Canada. Ses films, de Speak Body (1979) à Artist on Fire (1987), ont contribué à l'élaboration d'une pratique hybride qui mêle les projets politiques propres au documentaire et un rigoureux intérêt dans la représentation de la forme."
