  • Beyond Recall (2005) with Lise Wiel -- Finalist Lambda Literary Award for Biography
    An exquisite painter; intellectual; social activist; and articulate lesbian feminist, Mary Meigs began her writing career at age sixty. She suffered a stroke in 1999. Undaunted, she embraced her new discontinuous fate with both a penetrating curiosity and an utterly undiminished will to create. New, discrete forms of writing emerged: an incisively contemplative journal; a beautifully witty, illustrated fax correspondence; and a fascinating series of collaborative "free writing" sketches. Lise Weil has constructed a celebratory gathering of these magical pieces in Beyond Recall, Meigs's paean to the indomitable human spirit and its triumph over the infirmities and obstacles old age imposes on the human condition.

    A bus breaks down in the wilderness. Eight elderly women, average age 71, are stranded at a deserted farmhouse. The have only their wits, their memories, and eventually some roasted frogs' legs, to sustain them. Through the long days and nights this remarkable group of strangers share their life stories and exchange intimate thoughts; turning the crisis into a magical time of humour and spirit. Featuring non-professional actors and spontaneous dialogue, this memorable film dissolves the barrier between fiction and reality, weaving a heartwarming tale of friendship and courage.
