The Song Spinner is a 1995 Canadian fantasy film, following the story of a kingdom where all forms of noise and music have been outlawed by a fascist Captain. When a beautiful and mysterious woman arrives in the kingdom, she bestows a "song spinner" upon Aurora, a curious and spirited little girl. The film was shot primarily onsite at the Fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. The Song Spinner stars Meredith Henderson as Aurora, with supporting actors including Patti LuPone, John Neville, David Hemblen, Julian Richings, Lorne Cossette and Matthew Lerigny, among others. For unknown reasons, the film was never commercially released, and no digital copy publicly exists, although Le Bel's original novel remains available in print.
