| description | Le répertoire de l’Office national du film du Canada (ONF) manifeste une préoccupation de longue date pour la santé mentale. L’auteur étudie une grappe de documentaires, portant sur le vécu des personnes atteintes de maladie mentale, dont l’apport à l’héritage de cinéma militant de l’ONF est exceptionnel. Une analyse minutieuse de quatre documentaires produits entre 1977 et 2010 montre que la position militant radicale adoptée par les cinéastes en matière de santé mentale a remis en question les fondements épistémologiques de la psychiatrie tout en conférant aux discours sur la santé mental une dimension politique et existentielle.
The National Film Board of Canada’s catalogue expresses a longstanding concern for mental health. This article proposes a cluster of documentaries about living with mental illness as unique contributors to the NFB’s heritage of activist filmmaking. Through close analysis of four documentaries made between 1977 and 2010, it makes the case that filmmakers enacted a radical type of mental health activism which called into question the epistemological foundations of psychiatry while imbuing discourses of mental health with a political and existential dimension. |
