2. PARALYSIS by Lois Siegel and Ray Jurgens Showings: II Montreal International Festival of Cinema in 16mm, 1972; Oberhausen 19th West German Festival of Short Films; Fifth Canadian Student Film Festival, Concordia University, Montreal, 1973; Festival Sigma, Bordeaux, France, 1973; Canadian Women's Film Festival, York University, Toronto, 1974; Angouleme, France, 1974; National Spanish Cinematheque, Madrid, Barcelona, Spain, 1974; Second International Festival of Women's Films, N.Y.C., 1976; Cine 16, San Jose, 2001. Description: PARALYSIS is a computer film created by directly filming the images produced on an oscilloscope, which has been attached to a computer(s). The black and white image is then transferred to high contrast copy, the internegatives are super-imposed for transitional sequences, and finally color is added by re-filming the edited version on a rear-projection screen while using colored gels.
3. THE PERFORMANCE by Lois Siegel Showings: Women & Films International Festival, Toronto; Cinestud 73, International Festival of Student-Made Films, Kriterion, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; The Canadian Women's Film Festival, York University, Toronto, 1974. Description: THE PERFORMANCE consists of a series of bizarre acts The announcer is really the audience. He too contributes to his own ceremony.
4. DREAMS by Lois Siegel and Jean-Pol Passet Showings: 111 Montreal International Festival of Cinema in 16mm, 1973; Canadian Women's Film Festival, York University, Toronto, 1974; Bellevue Film Festival, Bellevue Washington, 1974; Sixth Canadian Student Film Festival, Concordia University, 1974, (Honorable Mention), semaine du Cinema Québécois, Montreal, 1975; Musee D'Art Contemporain, Montreal, 1977. Description: DREAMS is a pure fantasy. It does not pretend to transform realistic events. It is rather a daydream or a pulsating imagination. Images are at once sensuous and grotesque. Mouths breathe lustfully, fingers press heads, a mannequin takes a bath.
5. PAINTING WITH LIGHT by Lois Siegel
Assistant Director: Mike Rixon Showings: The Fifth International Experimental Film Competition, Knokke-Heist, Belgium, 1974-1975; Semaine Québécois du Film D'Animation, Le Cinema Outremont, Montreal, 1975; Semaine du Cinema Québécois, Montreal, 1975; Athens Ohio International Film Festival, Athens, 1975; The National Film Board of Canada, Films by Women, Montreal, 1975; Stratford International Film Festival, Stratford, Ontario, 1975; V Festival International Cinema en 16mm, Montreal 1975; Art Gallery of Ontario, 'International Animation', Toronto, 1976; Pacific Cinematheque, Vancouver, B.C., 1976; Galerie Media, Montreal, 1976; Center Screen, University Film Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1978; Cine 16, San Jose, 2001. Description: PAINTING WITH LIGHT consists of images produced by moving light. Techniques include re-filming slides in an animation fashion. Original slides are time-exposure images of color-filtered light. The experiment questions whether light can be controlled in a manner similar to that of the painter-artist. The use of an optical printer allows some manipulation or extension of certain scenes. Also, unmasked negative printing is intercut to strengthen the 'painting' effect.
6. FACES by Lois Siegel
Produced by: Lois Siegel Productions Inc. Showings: Semaine Québécois du Film D'Animation, Cinema Elysee, Montreal, 1976; Olympic Film Festivals, Cinema Elysee, Montreal, 1976; Film Bellevue Festival, Bellevue, Washington, 'Honorable Mention', 1976; Nominated: Canadian Film Awards, Best Experimental Film, Toronto, 1976; Sydney, Australia, 1977; La Semaine du Cinema Québécois, 1977; Baltimore International Film Festival, Baltimore, Maryland, 'Honorable Mention', 1977; Athens International Film Festival, Athens, Ohio, 1977; Yorkton International Film Festival, Saskatchewan, 1977; Experimental Film Exhibition, Hong Kong, 1977; Cine 16, San Jose, 2001. Description: FACES is a film composed entirely of photographs. Still photographs are re-filmed with a 16mm camera, and transitions from one image to the next are completed through dissolves in the camera. The images are faces. One face merges into another.
7. BOREDOM by Lois Siegel Showings: Bellevue Film Festival, Bellevue, Washington, 1976; Galerie Media, Montreal, 1976; Nominated: Canadian Film Awards, Best Experimental Film, Toronto, 1976; Athens International Film Festival, Athens, Ohio, 1977; Description: BOREDOM consists of a series of images portraying the movements of one character. The character performs acts with no apparent reason or result. His life is his art. We watch him as he lives his day. He walks, he looks, he loves, he dreams. The subject 'Boredom' is the title; all images are made as interesting as possible, but they have no exterior meaning. 8. BRANDY ALEXANDER by Lois Siegel and Marc Vais Showings: Hungarian Cinematheque, 1977; Athens International Film Festival, Athens, Ohio, 1977; Bibliothèque Nationale du Québec, Montreal, 1977. Description: BRANDY ALEXANDER is a drinker's delight. The film moves through surrealistic space to study the passage of time. One sees a fish in pursuit of a banana; a hand with drawers; a show bar, complete with bird bartender; an ear umbrella stand; and a man whose nose ticks like a clock.
9. SOLITUDE by Lois Siegel Showings: The National Film Board of Canada. Montreal, 1978; St-Andrews Presbyterian College, Laurinburg, North Carolina, 1978; La Semaine du Cinema Québécois, Montreal, 1978; Festival Populaire du Jeune Cinema, Finalist, Montreal, 1978; The Funnel, Toronto, 1980; Poetry Film Festival, San Francisco, 'Honorable Mention', 1981; Hong Kong Independent Short Film Exhibition, 1981; Cine 16, San Jose, 2001. Description: SOLITUDE is a film about the nature of the individual in the world as he moves from one space to another, shadowed by structures. The medium is film and dance, but the film is not specifically a dance film. Special effects, such as high-speed photography and color separation, are included only as a means to study form. The film avoids any descriptive realizations of solitude. Instead it studies the ambience or interior being of solitude.
10. RECIPE TO COOK A CLOWN by Lois Siegel Showings: The National Film Board of Canada, Montreal, 1978; The Funnel, Toronto, 1980. Description: RECIPE TO COOK A CLOWN involves one character who enters a city and meets bizarre people: a deaf-mute boy, a solicitous young man, and a somewhat neurotic young lady. The film is a small vignette of a carefree but curious individual who assumes nothing in his relationships with other people and merely reacts to the way they react to him.
11. DIALOGUE OF AN ANCIENT FOG by Lois Siegel
French Version: DIALOGUE D'UNE BRUME ANTIQUE Description: DIALOGUE OF AN ANCIENT FOG is the account of a man without qualities. He's the leftover face in the crowd who collects images, the unwanted images discarded by people without even a glance. He tells us stories as he moves through no particular time toward no particular space. 12. STUNT FAMILY by Lois Siegel French Version: LES CASCADEURS Produced by: Lois Siegel Productions Inc.

Description: ARENA is a study of images in movement. Stark black and white photographs of faces have been airbrushed with color. They dissolve one into another. The central image is a young boy: Guy. Guy is a deaf-mute. As the film progresses, the viewer is exposed to Guy's special world of faces. In ARENA two worlds encounter each other, but the exchange is only visual - a dialogue of silence. 14.

Description: EXTREME CLOSE-UP is a documentary about young adults who are multi-handicapped, but who have one handicap in common: blindness.
