Considered one of Canada's most important women artists of the second half of the 20th century, Joyce Wieland's art embodies the essence of her homeland, feminism, and ecology. Artist on Fire: Joyce Wieland captures the vibrant spirit of this painter, collagist, quilt maker, and filmmaker. In the early '70s, Wieland was involved in filmmaking, producing movies with a political message. In her 30-year career, she worked in a variety of mediums, including cloth, pastels, colored pencil, oils, bronze, and watercolor. Her works and her influence are examined in this detailed video portrait.

Un film sans tabou sur un sujet fondamental, réalisé sur un ton serein, concerné, parfois avec humour, mais sans effet de surprise ni volonté de choquer. En somme, un film juste et intelligent. Il est servi par des séquences filmées ou animées et des images de synthèse claires et pertinentes.
