In the very first installment of Our Screen, Our Country, the guys start from the bottom of the list and look at #10 - Michel Brault's haunting, neorealistic Les Ordres, a film that takes a critical look at a very troubling time in Canadian history. Jason takes us on a history lesson through Quebec politics in the 1970s, they talk about using black-and-white combined with colour film to achieve a certain tone, they analyze the ironic Pierre Trudeau quote that opens the film, Jason discusses the idea of anti-French sentiment throughout Canada and more! Next week: we continue with #10 (yes, there are two at that number - they are tied) - a documentary called Stories We Tell. Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

It's time to start with the next venture - OUR Screen, OUR Country. Brendan and Jason take a look at the Top 10 Canadian Film (as released by the Toronto International Film Festival in 2015). To begin though, they go through some of their favourite pieces of Canadian film and television. Does Canadian humour bridge the gap between American and British comedy? Why does very little Canadian comedy make a splash in other countries? Does anyone remember Kevin Spencer? All this and more in this week's episode! Next week: we start the list with #10 - the French-Canadian docufiction Les Ordres. Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

This week my guest is Beth French. Yep, the Beth French. For anyone who doesn't know, Beth set out to swim the Oceans 7 in 12 months. Seven channel swims in a 12 month period. That's one every 7 weeks. A filmmaker recorded her journey, and the film, Against the Tides, is currently being screened around the UK. I saw the film before I spoke to Beth, and before we had even talked about her being on the podcast I had messaged her just to tell her what an impact it had had on me - one line in particular. The line was, "You just need to let go of whatever is holding you back". You're right, I thought. But if it was that easy we'd all be doing it and therapists would all be out of a job. There is so much to reflect on in what Beth shares in the 50 minutes we spoke for. But one of the most interesting things is about the stories that get told, and who gets to tell them. The narrative for the film quickly became about, in Beth's words, a rags to riches health story where she overcame ME and did the Oceans 7. Beth had hoped it would be an environmental story, drawing the contrast between not only being fit enough to swim in the sea, but the fact that the sea has to be fit enough to swim in. This isn't the angle the media were interested in. A central part of Beth's story in Against the Tides is Dylan. Dylan is Beth's son. Beth became an adventurer after having Dylan, which in no way fits the dominant narrative in our culture about adventurers. In the stories that get told most often, the adventurers are men. When they are women, they are single and childfree. Adventuring is given up when they become mothers. Not so for the men, who can continue adventuring as fathers, without external judgement, it would seem. It is extremely rare for women to take up adventuring after becoming a parent. This is what Beth did, and the reasons are central to her story. She talks a lot about listening to her own voice, and 'choosing different'. Beth's adventure narrative is also unusual, in that it doesn't conform to the 'never give up' or the 'bigger, better, faster, more' narrative that many outdoorsy documentary films follow. Beth does not complete the challenge (spoiler alert!) and her exploration of that is fascinating. People who are the first at anything that we haven't seen before are always curiosities. They have to pave the way for others to follow in their wake. Beth certainly demonstrates what it means to find your own path, to follow your own voice and to make choices that other people may not like nor understand, but that are right for you. She is just a normal person. But she is also so much more. Things we talk about Haunts of the Black Masseur, Cornwall to Isles of Scilly swim, The Good Life, Swimathon, vipassana meditation, Kendal Mountain Festival, Ann Daniels, Our Screen
About Beth French Beth French is an ultra-marathon swimmer and environmentalist and is an inspiration to anyone who wants to achieve their dreams. Beth was struck with glandular fever at 10 and didn’t fully recover- her adolescence being marred by periods of immune dysfunction and exhaustion. It was not until she was 17 and wheelchair bound that she was diagnosed with ME. Beth now lives without symptoms and spent years regaining trust in her body and her ability to challenge herself. She has travelled and studied abroad, learning indigenous alternatives to healthcare and cultural perspectives on life. She also ordained as a Buddhist nun. Beth says “So far my life has taught me that unless you take as many steps as you think you can, how are you ever going to learn that it really is only a tantalizing few more to get where you want to go?” Episode highlights Childhood interest in swimming. Beth remembers looking out to sea and thinking she could swim forever. Beth’s diagnosis of ME at 17 years old when she was in a wheelchair for 12 months. Swimming - became therapeutic and mediative. When Beth’s body was falling apart water reduced aches. People always ask how she became better – used rebellious energy at 17 years old to push through and lit a fire of fury to get better. Beth went on to read everything about nutrition and health and indigenous healthcare (Hawaii and Thailand) and different takes on anatomy (found health whilst abroad) Beth fell in love with her body again whilst in Hawaii swimming in the Pacific Ocean and managed to swim over 3 hours straight. Beth ordained as a Buddhist monk in Thailand. Beth felt if she didn't address her mind, she would return to illness - there is always an underlying threat. Beth now sees ME as her biggest teacher as opposed to greatest burden. Beth now values every moment body teaks and hurts and have an amazing relationship with body and food. Beth spends time in the space of getting body and mind in harmony – she needs to spend the time to do it. Beth now gets into the water and is able to let go and not worry about the outcome or the destination. Balancing of being a single mum with a child with autism. Swimming to France was testing the boundary of what is possible. Having a child shouldn't stop us having an adventure. Beth decided to swim to France when her son, Dylan, was only 2 – trained when he was asleep and at pre-school. Film – Ocean 7 – how it started. Once Beth swam the English channel Beth looked for other challenges. Oceans 7 is the toughest challenge for a swimmer. Only 4-5 people have completed it. Beth wanted to be the first to complete it all within 1 year. Film following Beth's Ocean 7 challenge comes out in May called Against the tide. Not a story about swimming, more about motherhood. Will come out through www.ourscreen.com. Community approach and if enough people in local area request, local cinema will show this. It will later be on Amazon and probably Netflix. Beth wants children to look at adventure and not assume it is Bear Grylls and rather to look at alternatives like Beth.

Director Mark AC Brown and actor David Whitney talk about how they made their new indie film Guardians. We also chat about how Mark made a film for his degree but it was a great experiment and not to be seen again. How he wrote a feature script for Nu Image but the 'Expendables' ruined it and how it is best to write something to make yourself for free or on a micro budget with what you have available to you. How when making an indie film, continuity is not as important as the story. How the establishing scene of a character is so important. But don't waste time on drone shots. Then get the most amount of permissions you can get. And if not shoot anyway. Suzanne Smith - their DoP was a runner on a Brainehound short and worked her way up. Made short film Beard with David and Mark and proved herself as a brilliant DoP and How having great all rounders like Fred Fournier and Joe Starrs as editor and 1st AD respectively is vital as is keeping your ‘team' from your shorts/music videos and bringing them with you. With low budget movies you have to juggle and workaround peoples schedules and how 'Withnails' - Richard E Grant's marvelous book was an inspiration (as was The Wah Wah Diaries) When you are supposed to be doing he scene in 4 shots but end up doing it in one due to time constraints but it's one of the best moments in the film so it's not always best to stick to your shot lists. Why post can take so long when you are asking for favours on a micro budget film. How they learned from other filmmakers on how they distributed their films - Ben Cookson, Fizz and Ginger's Two Down and James Rumsey's Drunk on Love. Mark wanted to have a cinema run so chose Our Screen to have a theatrical release. Then the release got extended as it sold out for the second night. And how they opened a festival in a double bill with recent horror film IT.
