About the Film
"December 6" is a short poetry dance film set to "14 (for December 6)," a spoken word commentary by Evalyn Parry about societal and media responses to violence against women, with the 20th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre* as the central focus. The film includes performances from 14 female dancers, showcasing a variety of world dance traditions, symbolizing that violence against women can happen to any woman, anywhere.
*The Montreal Massacre: On December 6, 1989, an armed man walked into L'Ecole Polytechnique, a school for engineering at the University of Montreal. He murdered 14 women shouting, "I hate feminists." This film is dedicated to those 14 women...
