Cynthia Scott

Cynthia Scott, born in Winnipeg in 1939, worked first in public television, as a script assistant and then as a producer of current affairs programmes, before joining the National Film Board as a director. There she made documentaries, one of which, on a flamenco class at the National Ballet School, won the Oscar for best documentary short. For her only feature film, she had at first auditioned men, then gave up when she saw that the women faded into the background in their presence.
