NFB movie moves audience to action Hope to (Stephanie Levesqut, a reporter for 'the Times - Advocate and other area weekly newspapers, viewed "Not A Love Story" and files the following report on the movie and the pornograph' issue.) "Not a Love Story" is shocking, disturbing, enrag- ing and at times nauseating in its depiction of sexual abuses against women. Viewed at a private screen- ing in St. Marys on July 7 with over 85 people in attendance, "Not a Love Story", is a film about pornography. Produced by the National Film Board of Canada, the film centres around a young, female strip- per, who along with an inter- viewer, witness pornography in its diffeent aspects. The message that comes through loud and clear is that this material degrades those involved. One actor who had performed in stag films was intereviewed for the NFB pro- duction. He states he no longer acts in such films because women are por- trayed in a degrading man- ner. When asked if he felt degraded in the films he said "no", that as a man he acted the "macho" type. Violence against women is heavily documented in "Not a Love Story". In some the women are either bound and gagged or appear to like what is happening to them during the atrocities performed on their bodies: In order to get insight into the women who participate in pornography, one •young woman who performs live sex acts was interviewed. To her it. was not wrong as she had been raised by her prosititute mother and watching sex be- ing performed was not out of the ordinary. Pornography has come a long way from its origin in the 1950s when Playboy entered the scene showing bare breasts. Today in the 1980s, the showing of bare breasts is mild. In fact David Bonner, morals and values consultant with the Perth Board of Education who has toured the Ontario Censor Board in Toronto, commented that scenes shown in the film are "mild" compared to some of the films persented to OCB. The problem, according to the Canadian Coalition Against Media Pornography (CCAMP) is that the law is vague and has not kept pace with the trend in por- nography. The Criminal Code of Canada states there must be "undue exploitation of sex, or of sex and any one or more of the following subjects. namely crime, horror, cruel- ty and violence" before anything is considered obscene. "The definition (in the Criminal Code) was drawn up in the 50's when the worst por- nography on the market was like the mildest present day publications. Now society is dealing with sado- masochism, women being subjected to various painful acts and loving the pain, and a prevalence of rape scenes. The law clearly is not ade- quate," states CCAMP. For a definition of por- nography, Donal O'Connor, editor of the St. Marys Journal -Argus and one of a six -member panel speaking at the screening, said he found a definition he con- siders accurate. Pornography is "vertlal or pictoral material which represents or describes sexual behaviour that is degrading or abusive to one or more of the par- ticipants in such a way as to endorse the degration." Margaret McBride of St. Marys, who developed "a kind of rage" after having seen the film earlier this year, brought the film to the town and organized the panel of 4 GRADUATES -- Valerie Lynne Finkbeiner graduated July 16, 1983 from Fanshawe College - School of Nursing Victoria Campus receiving her pin in the Nursing School's 100th Anniversary.

There were over 85 people in attendance at the screening and Ms. McBride said she was "thrilled" with the tur- nout. Her initial objective in showing the film was to • 'heighten the awareness of pornography within the community." But audience reaction went beyond that. One man asked what individuals could do to erase pornography from society. • Ms. McBride wants to start a lobby group in St. Marys. Although it is not 42nd Street in New York, St. Marys, like many small urban ^entres across Canada, does have pornography, she indicated. Ms. McBride emphasized this as she read a list of 72 por- nographic periodicals she found in one store in the town. She wants these books removed from the stores, especially out of the reach of • children. The St. Marys woman also suggested in- dividuals write to their local member of parliament, federal minister of com- munications Francis Fox, the CRTC all in Ottawa, and the Canadian Film Development Corporation in Montreal. "We have to start writing letters," said Ms. McBride adding individuals can no longer pretend the situation doesn't exist. spEciAts From A & H yin Make your food dollars go farther Place your order for pails of Montmorency cherries NOW!
