Quotes about Jennifer Hodge de Silva
"[Jennifer] Hodge de Silva directed a number of films during the 1980s that established the dominant mode in African Canadian film culture. Working exclusively in the documentary and often on sponsored films, she staked out a set of concerns and a mode of production that might be termed Black liberalism."
-- Cameron Bailey

"Though [Jennifer] Hodge de Silva's 'personality' can be found in what she chose
to make films about, the films themselves resist the search for a
subjective voice, a personal point of view. [...] However, Hodge de
Silva interpreted the grammar of documentary realism and the limits of
sponsored films in a way that I would argue is distinct, even personal."
-- Cameron Bailey
