MACEROLA, chairman of the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), has an- nounced that the NFB is establishing an annual award to honor and encourage independent docuinentary filmmaking in Canada. The prize, called the National Film Board of Canada Kathleen Shannon Documentary Award, will be presented yearly beginning in 1988 to honor an in- dependently-made documentary film that provides an opportunity for those outside the dominant culture to express their perspec- tives. A $1,000 cash prize will accom- pany the award, which will be given out each year at the Yorkton Short Film and Video Festival. The award has been named for Kathleen Shannon, a_ producer/ director who has been with the NFB since 1956 and who, in 1974, founded the English-language women's studio of the NFB (Stu- dio D). As executive producer of the studio, a position she held until she stepped down in 1986, Shannon oversaw production of sonie 70 films, more than half of which were directed by independent film- makers from all across the coun- try. Kathleen Shannon is herself the recipient of many awards. In 1984, Queens University granted her an honorary doctorate for having “fostered the work of women filmmakers in Canada and en- couraged the production of films which speak to pcople all over the world against sexism, violence and racism.”’ “In 1986-87, through its Pro- gram to Assist Filmmakers in the Private Sector and its Projet d’aide a la production artisanale, the NFB provided over one million dollars in assistance to 183 films made by independent film- makers,’’ said Macerola. ‘Hope- fully, this award will encourage more independent filmmakers from all parts of Canada.
