Abstract	Abstract: In the days that followed the Montreal Massacre at the Ecole Polytechnique, December 6, 1989, the Canadian mass media became a discursive battleground regarding violence against women. In response to this phenomenon, I released a half-hour documentary in 1995 entitled Reframing the Montreal Massacre: A Media Interrogation. Designed as a feminist tool for media literacy, the tape deconstructs six key moments in the media coverage of the Massacre. This paper serves as an extended artist's statement to accompany the project's re-release on the Internet, while simultaneously exploring aesthetic and representational strategies that shape the documentary. This article is supported by several videos . Resume : Dans les jours qui suivirent le massacre de l'Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, le 6 decembre 1989, la presse canadienne devint un champ de bataille discursif relativement a la violence orientee contre les femmes. En reponse a ce phenomene, j'ai realise en 1995 un documentaire d'une demi-heure intitule Reframing the Montreal Massacre: A Media Interrogation. Concu comme un outil feministe en faveur de l'information mediatique, le documentaire deconstruit six moments cles de la couverture mediatique du massacre. A l'occasion de la rediffusion du projet sur Internet, le present article reitere dans sa continuite ma prise de position en tant qu'artiste, explorant simultanement les strategies esthetiques et representationnelles qui modelent le documentaire. Plusieurs videos viennent completer cet article.
