"Film in Canada" presents a comprehensive discussion of Canadian cinema in its political and cultural contexts. It purposefully leaves open the question of whether Canada has one national cinema or two (English-Canadian and Quebecois) since this will allow for greater flexibility in how the text is used in the classroom. The chapters are organized around specific topics, exploring both historical trends and contemporary examples; they can be used in sequence or independently. The films discussed are improtant and representative Canadian works. A filmography is included at the end of the book, along with distribution information for films discussed in the text. "Film in Canada" is suitable for use in Canadian film courses (both in Film Studies and Canadian Studies programmes), while also being accessible to general readers with an interest in Canadian culture.
