Administrative history
The Ontario Film and Video Appreciation Society (OFAVAS) was formed in April 1982 to specifically challenge the rights and authority of the Ontario Board of Censors under the 1982 Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The group was formed by independent producers and distributors David Poole, Anna Gronau and Cyndra MacDowall who became the Board of Directors. There was also a prominant Board of Advisors which included Renee Baert, Janic Baudrihaye, Pierre Berton, Jackie Burroughs, Varda Burstyn, June Callwood, David Cronenberg, Malcolm Dean, Barbara Emmanuel, John Friendly, Allan King, Joyce Mason, Carol McBride, Ross McLaren, Michaella McLean, Laura Sabia, Michael Snow, and Joyce Weiland. OFAVAS worked in concert with the Film and Video Against Censorship (FAVAC) group.
