Snow Screened

Afterimage, Summer 1981, v. 9, no. 1 & 2, p. 4

Protest against censorship laws in Ontario surrounding the screening of Michael Snow's Rameau's Nephew at the AGO and Funnel Theatre. The filmmaker was ordered by the board of censors to omit explicit content. The board allowed a special exemption permitting screening at one location only because of Snow's international representation, but Snow withdrew Rameau's Nephew from the retrospective instead.
