La Raison Avant La Passion (1968-69) & Hand Tinting (1967). “La Raison…is Joyce Wieland’s major film so far” (P. Adams Sitney), an ode to and critique of Canada as seen through a cross-country trip. La Raisonn is “…about the pain and joy of living in a very large space: in fact, in a continent.” (Hollis Frampton)
