Document Summary
The film board silenced homosexuals through omission, even as it chronicled the struggles of other minority groups (555) The national film board of canada has had a huge impact on historically shaping. From its founding in 1939 to the end of trudeau"s years in power, the film board was a behemoth, but after mulroney came into power, it became a shell of what it once was (551) The film board released many documentaries on queer canadians from the 1980s onward. When mina fraticelli took over studio d in 1987, she commissioned many documentaries on homosexuality (558) In 1994, the film board put together a package of ten films related to homosexuality (558) But reform party cultural critic monte solberg called for guidelines to prevent the expenditure of taxpayer dollars on pornographic films of homosexuality (559) None of the films he was referring to actually contained pornography, and only two explicitly related to sexual identity at all (559)
