Summary: "A smorgasbord of interviews and film clips, Weird sex and snowshoes gives some of Canada's most celebrated filmmakers the chance to sound off on just what is a Canadian film. Despite revealing opinions as diverse as their filmmaking styles, certain defining characteristics do emerge: a fascination with the outsider and with survival, unusual protagonists, a willingness to take artistic risks with narrative structure, the ever-present influence and reaction against the behemoth south of our border, and, it goes without sayingy, weird sex. As scenes from more than 70 Canadian films rocket across the screen, the notion of a unified Canadian cinema starts to take shape."--Container.
