About this series
The Festival international des musiciennes innovatrices (FIMI) is the first such
event to be held in Montreal. Designed right from the start as a unique event, it is
meant to highlight and provide an overview of the music written and performed by
women.
Carried by Les Productions Super Mémé, the FIMI took place from April 6-10, 1989.
Fifty artists from Quebec, elsewhere in Canada, France, Germany, Iran, China, Japan
and the USA came to Montreal to perform in five cultural centres and in the following
clubs: Spectrum, Club Soda and Foufounes Électriques. From rock to opera, jazz and
performance art, the festival featured avant-garde music with roots in pop, jazz and
rock.
