Gail Singer (Consultant)

Best known for her 1991 feature documentary on female comics, Wisecracks, Singer has written and directed in film for over 20 years. She has done everything from co-directing a giant screen IMAX, Destiny in Space, Blue Planet, with the Smithsonian Institute to making her own fiction movie, True Confections (1991) as well as writing and directing dozens of documentaries.

Singer’s films have taken her to several continents and have been seen in festivals and on television throughout the world. She has been honoured at home and in the U.S., Japan (where a book on the impact of her film Abortion, Stories from North and South, 1985, was published), Great Britain, France, Switzerland and elsewhere.

Her subject matter ranges from comedy to challenging social and political documentaries such as Loved, Honoured and Bruised, 1980, which explores one woman’s story of leaving a marriage of physical and mental abuse. The body of her work traces turbulent social movements of the twentieth century, displaying the events with compassion, irony and wit.
