Abstract

ABSTRACT:This article discusses three films made about the Sir George Williams Affair: Crisis at Sir George (1998), An(other) Antilles (2013) and the widely distributed National Film Board film Ninth Floor (2016). It comprises a critique of the latter, arguing that Ninth Floor's impact is to undermine political protest, denying the significance of the events both at the time and in the history of Black activism in Canada.RÉSUMÉ:L'article traite de trois films qui portent sur l'affaire Sir George Williams : Crisis at Sir George (1998), An(other) Antilles (2013) et Ninth Floor (2016), ce dernier distribué à grande échelle par l'Office national du film. Critique de Ninth Floor, l'auteure soutient que, en niant l'importance des événements, tant à l'époque que dans l'histoire du militantisme noir au Canada, ce film a pour effet d'affaiblir la contestation politique.

九楼烦恼
摘要:本文讨论了三部关于乔治·威廉姆斯爵士事件的电影:乔治爵士的危机(1998),一个(其他)安的列斯群岛(2013)和广泛发行的国家电影委员会电影九楼(2016)。它包括对后来的批评,认为第九层楼的影响削弱了政治抗议,否认了这些事件在当时和加拿大黑人行动主义历史上的重要性。摘要:本文讨论了三部关于乔治·威廉姆斯爵士事件的电影:《乔治爵士的危机》(1998)、《一个(其他)安的列斯群岛》(2013)和《九楼》(2016),后者由国家电影委员会大规模发行。作为《九楼》的评论家,作者认为,通过否认当时和加拿大黑人行动主义历史上事件的重要性,这部电影削弱了政治抗议。
