ENTERTAINMENT

Wants to improve image

TORONTO (CP) — Beryl
Fox has a mission — she
wants to make movies that
reflect “women as they are,
honestly and believably.”

Fox, the producer of Sur-
facing and By Design, says it
is not so much her own image
she wants to throw on the

screen but the image of
“ordinary women, striving.”
She has chosen to produce
movies because she likes the
power of deciding what goes
into the films.

It took her 20 years to get
to feature films. She worked
as a producer-director at

CBC and was director of
program development for the
National Film Board.

Fox created her own job by
buying the rights to Sur-
facing and producing it.

“All that knocking on doors
paid off,” she says. “I learned
to keep knocking to get the
financing.”

“A movie needs action,

we had to change quite a few

novel — the reason I decided

Fox says she was worried
when Atwood saw the first
version.

TEACHES ‘POLITICS’

For Hague, the movie and
television series are depart-
ures from his career as a
Broadway composer and tea-
cher.

“One reason I was asked

“Necessarily, in a movie,
you have to oversimplify
things,” she says. “Anyway, I
‘was veyr nervous.

“Peggy (Atwood) seémed
to like it, though. She was
very funny, the first thing
she said was, ‘Couldn't you
have taught that girl to canoe
with her arms down?’ "

Fox also coproduced By
Design, a movie about two
lesbians who, having decided
they want a child, are looking
for someone to father it.

Like Surfacing, By Design
was directed by Claude Jut-
‘ra. The movie is in Los
Angeles in the hands of a
marketing agent and al-
though the film was not very
well received at the Cannes
film festival, distribution
deals are pending.

Fox says there are op-
portunities for women in the
film industry to disprove
what has been said about
women in movies.

“We have to create the
opportunities to show other-
wise,” she says. “Nobody is
going to give that oppor-
tunity. You can’t do it alone.

“Having women p:

in the enter field,
you have instant teams.
People are literally thrown
together. You shake hands
and come out writing.”
Hague has built a repu-
tation in the industry as
someone to turn to for help in
dealing with one of the most
politically oriented areas of
entertainment, the audition,
“A lot of performers in
their eagerness to get a job
overlook the fact that an
audition has two parts,” he
said. “The obvious point is to
see the quality of talent and
the other is to see whether
the person can collaborate or
get along with others.”
SEES PITFALLS
Hague said he's

“Whatever area of the arts
you're in you must prepare as
much as possible so you can
trust your reflexes,” he said.
“That way you don’t have to
think about what you're
doing. The audition is our
marketplace and show win-
dow and if you're not pre-
pared, you will lose out.”

‘For An Evening Out

While the Canada Oil Sub-
stitution Program doesn't of-
fer freezers to residents of
the North, it does promote
the use of wood stoves where
there are no trees and solar
energy where 24-hour dark-
ness reigns for much of the
winter.

Dan Ferguson, an infor-
mation officer with the pro-
gram, said the government
will have to keep an eye out
for the regional pitfalls in-

for national application.

Ferguson noted that fed-
eral subsidies to homeowners
who switch to wood from oil
heat are of no use to people
living above the treeline.

Ferry talks in trouble

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Contract talks between rep-

ble,” a union spokesman said
Tuesday night following a

“firm onus” ison provincial
mediator Fred Geddes to
bring the two sides closer
together when negotiations
resume Monday: |:

Kechnie said in an interview.

“We will very seriously start
looking at job action of one
form or another if they. (cor-
poration negotiators) haven't
changed their Position con-
siderably.”

‘McKechnie said the union's
executive will hold an emer-
gency meeting Thursday to
discuss a strike committee
report and “decide where we
go from here.”

McKechnie accused corpor-

their previous wage offer and
refusing to discuss overtime
provisions,

“Generally they are inflam.
ing the situation by, ‘chiselling

“We've bent a. lot ‘and

stantial moves and it's up to
Mr. .Geddes to make sure
they do the same now.”,
