Fiction and Other Truths: A Film About Jane Rule is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Lynne Fernie and Aerlyn Weissman and released in 1995.[1] The film is a portrait of influential lesbian writer and anti-censorship activist Jane Rule.[2]
The film premiered on January 9, 1995 at the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts in Toronto, at a gala benefit for the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives,[3] before having its television premiere as the debut episode of TVOntario's documentary series The View from Here on January 11.[4] It subsequently screened theatrically elsewhere in Canada, including at a benefit screening for Little Sister's Book and Art Emporium in Vancouver during its censorship dispute with the Canada Border Services Agency.[5]
