Quote:
"A rape film made in Vancouver has won an award at the American Film Festival in New York. Called This Film is About Rape, it was directed by filmmaker Bonnie Kreps, whose credits include work for CTV and W5. The B.C. Police Commission contributed $15,000 toward production costs and the project received other grants, according to Dorothea Atwater, rape prevention project co-ordinator for the Commission. Atwater said total production costs of $30,000 were offset by National Film Board donation of equipment and lab time. Film content was developed by a group of police officers and members of Rape Crisis Centre who overcame philosophical differences to work together, she said. It won second prize in the changing society category of the festival."
