H2EEF EXTRA: "Imprints" and "Codes for North" with Stephen Broomer
As well as being a teacher, publisher of great Canadian experimental films, producer of video essays and numerous other talents, Stephen Broomer is a prolific writer and editor. Here, we discuss two of his major book publications (one as author and one as co-editor) with a third due to be published soon.
The first of these books is Imprints: The Films of Louise Bourque, which he co-edited with Clint Enns and which collates a host of essays and supplementary material about Bourque's films. Louise has appeared previously on this show and the book was an invaluable resource for this episode, as well as a great starting point for any viewers interested to learn about her work.

H2EEF Spotlight: "Restless Reflection" Stephen Broomer Discusses Josephine Massarella
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.

H2EEF Spotlight: "Look, Make, Learn, Teach" with Richard Kerr
Richard Kerr is a giant in Canadian experimental film. His works span from early personal projects such as On Land, Over Water: Six Stories to his fiercely urgent trilogy of films with a focus across the border to the United States: The Last Days of Contrition (1986), Cruel Rhythm (1991) and Field Trip (2021). His output also includes formally radical works of "accelerated cinema" featuring, as you'll hear, Richard's theory of "Total Movement" in films such as Plein Air and House Arrest.
An all-round artist, Richard's work also includes photography, painting and "film weavings", many of which you can view online. This episode takes a broad look at Richard's career, with a particular focus on the "American" trilogy, which has been released on Blu-Ray along with a short film and a host of extra features by Stephen Broomer at Black Zero.
