It was Bechdel' s modest proposal for assessing how well a given film represented its female characters, and it went like so : Do you, movie, feature two or more named women?

Dans sa procédure comme dans son principe, le test de Bechdel est d’une simplicité biblique. Prenez n’importe quel film, et soumettez-le à trois questions. Ce film comporte-t-il au moins deux personnages féminins identifiables par un nom? Ces deux femmes se parlent-elles? Se parlent-elles d’autre chose que d’un homme? Cela a l’air trivial, mesquin voire vraiment trop facile, mais les candidats susceptibles de réussir ce test, ce qui suppose de répondre affirmativement aux trois questions posées, sont beaucoup plus rares qu’on ne l’imaginerait spontanément. 2, record 5, French, - test%20de%20Bechdel

Dropping out of math and science-it's still an all-too-common pattern for teenage girls and the results can be disastrous. Without training in these areas, 85% of the most prestigious and lucrative careers-those in science and the applied sciences-become inaccessible. Featuring advice and inspiration from five women scientists, this video of the National Film Board of Canada encourages girls at the secondary level to continue their studies in math and science and provides the facts they need to make an informed choice about the future. 1, record 7, English, - Careers%20to%20Discover

Produced for the National Film Board of Canada by Parker Film Associates for Fitness and Amateur Sports of Canada. Your Move is about participation in all kinds of sports by women of all ages. Myths, taboos, conventions of dress, and "proper" behavior have for centuries prevented women from enjoying recreational sport. Accepting society's assumption that physical activity was "unfeminine", women remained the eternal spectators. Women and attitudes are changing, but old myths die hard. When this film was made in 1973, forty-seven percent of Canadian women still ranked in the "low-to-fair" fitness category. The film shows women taking part in a variety of physical activities, competitive and non-competitive, and discussing the benefits for themselves. 2, record 9, English, - Your%20Move

A celebration of the victories of Quebec farm women who, through determination and solidarity, are attaining the recognition they have sought for so long. This film of the National Film Board of Canada illustrates, through the stories of several of these women, how in the 1970s Quebec women became politicized, setting up committees, joining unions and creating an association and federation, gradually becoming recognized for their professional status as food producers and as women in business with their husbands. 1, record 10, English, - A%20Time%20to%20Reap

This striking documentary of the National Film Board of Canada pays tribute to the importance of women farmers to the agricultural economy, and recognizes the invisible subsidy their labor provides to consumers. Farm women from various parts of Canada, ranging in age from their thirties to seventies, are shown running a variety of farm operations, including mixed farming in Saskatchewan, wheat farming in Manitoba and dairy farming in Ontario. The women also share their views on agriculture today and their attempt to deal with economic and social challenges. 1, record 12, English, - In%20Her%20Chosen%20Field

Dans ce film de l'Office national du film du Canada des agricultrices de trente à soixante-dix ans, du Centre et de l'Ouest du Canada, parlent de leur situation difficile au sein d'une agriculture déjà bien assez précaire. Elles évoquent l'amour de leur terre, et la crainte de la perdre. Elles révèlent leur imposante contribution, travail non rémunéré, «subvention invisible à l'agriculture», qui vient s'ajouter à leurs tâches familiales et autres, et ne leur donne pourtant aucun titre à la propriété de leur ferme. Elles décrivent leur réalité, leurs problèmes, leurs besoins. Enfin, elles exposent leurs luttes pour obtenir une reconnaissance économique et juridique tenant compte de la plus élémentaire justice, par l'entremise de divers mouvements de revendications à travers le pays. 1, record 12, French, - Une%20terre%20%C3%A0%20soi

Film produced in 1990 by the National Film Board. This film helps us come to terms with the murder of 14 women at an engineering school in Montreal. It deals with how these murders relate to the larger picture of male violence that confronts women on the streets and even in their own homes. The haunting images taken on the day of the massacre and in the days following set the stage for an exploration of the issues of misogyny, male violence and sexism. 1, record 17, English, - After%20the%20Montreal%20Massacre
