Film in Canada cover

Offering a current and comprehensive analysis of Canadian cinema in its political and cultural contexts, this new edition of Film in Canada introduces students to a cinema that is as diverse as the country itself. Major developments in Canadian filmmaking are explored in depth, from direct cinema and the national-realist films of the 1960s to later avant-garde projects and beyond. With detailed discussions on recent and well-established works by prominent Canadian filmmakers, along with new film commentaries and movie stills, this text is an invaluable resource for film students and film lovers alike.

The book reads well from beginning to end as an evolving argument and discussion with many facets, yet it knits together without simplifying. . . Leach's discussion of direct cinema is the most useful I have found anywhere." * Roger Holdstock, Douglas College *
