Proxyhawks is a Canadian drama film, directed by Jack Darcus and released in 1971.[1] It starred Darcus and Susan Spencer as a married couple living on a ranch in British Columbia, whose relationship tensions and difficulties are sublimated into their care of animals; the wife keeps rabbits, while the husband threatens the safety of the rabbits by taking up falconry.[2]
Although the film never had widespread commercial distribution, it was entered into the Best Motion Picture competition at the 24th Canadian Film Awards.[3] It was later screened at the 1984 Festival of Festivals as part of Front & Centre, a special retrospective program of artistically and culturally significant films from throughout the history of Canadian cinema.[4]
