Canadian Cinema
Canadian Cinema is designed to bring scholarly reflection on Canadian cinematic tradition and contemporary Canadian film to specialist and non-specialist audiences alike. Volumes in the series illuminate the breadth of the nation’s film productions, including classic and popular films; documentaries, fiction, animation, and experimental films; and films in the various languages spoken across the country. As the series unfolds, it will document the heterogeneity that characterises the Canadian cinematic tradition and duly recognise its international significance. Canadian Cinema will become the cornerstone of our knowledge of Canadian film history and the current state of the industry.
