		Michelle Josef has been living as a woman for several years, and was half-way through the process of obtaining a series of medical interventions to legally change her sex to female, when, without explanation or warning, the Ontario government withdrew funding for sex reassignment surgery.

		Michelle’s case will set an important precedent for transsexuals and transgendered people across Canada, but it requires community support if it is to proceed.

	village voice > film > Josef von Sternberg: Spectacles of Escapist Delirium by Graham Fuller
		Like its summer season of Frank Borzage films, the Moving Image's current retrospective celebrates the work of an auteur who responded to the social upheavals of the 1930s with spectacles of escapist delirium.
		But whereas Borzage contended that all we need is love, Josef von Sternberg (1894—1969) scorned such bromides.
		Cinema's Great Artificer built a world in seven Marlene Dietrich movies that reflected the bitter knowledge that love pined for is more exquisite than love requited—and that the torch of eroticism always outlasts the cigarette glow of romance.

		Ember Swift's set began with a haunting electric fiddle solo by Lydell Montgomery, setting the stage for the hour of pure talent that followed.
		Audience members were wooed by the shocking abilities of all three members of the band — the powerful drumming of Michelle Josef, the intense fiddling and bowed guitar of Lyndell, and the solid voice and guitar work of Ember.
		By the end of the evening, the small dance area in front of the stage was crowded with fans, but Ember taunted the dwindling group of sitting fans, and in a rush to please her, dancers pushed beer-filled tables and sitters aside.
