Cinema Canada

Earlier Title: Canadian Cinematography (1961-67)

Cinema Canada (1967-89) was the primary trade journal for film and television production in Canada. The magazine originated as Canadian Cinematography (1961-67), published by the Canadian Society of Cinematographers, but was renamed to appeal to a wider readership and to recognize a degree of maturity of the national film production industry. Cinema Canada hosted a new slate of stridently nationalist film critics, scholars and writers. The magazine’s emergence coincided with a threshold, of sorts, when a national cinema became recognizable in character as having an independence from Hollywood genres, even if output remained relatively small in quantity. The publication’s archives are housed at the Toronto International Film Festival’s Film Reference Library.

Quebec directors form union L’Association des Realisateurs de Film du Québec was formed in April by a group of 75 directors including independents, those from the private sector, and from the government (NFB, CBC). The purpose of this group is to defend the interests of directors in all parts of the industry and to protest the freedom and rights of its membership. One of the foremost aims of the Association of Québec Film Directors is to fight political censorship of films. The Executive Committee consists of: Denis Héroux — President; Jacques Gagné, Jean-Pierre Lefebvre — VicePresidents; Roger Frappier, Jacques Leduc — Secretaries; Guy Dufaux — Treasurer; and Alain Chartrand, Claude Fournier, Louis Portuguais, — Directors. For further information, and details on the groups activities contact: L’Association des Realisateurs de Film du Québec, 3466 rue St. Denis, Mont réal 130, (514) 844-2457 or 844-6265. The CCFMis still going strong The Council of Canadian Filmmakers, formed so recently (see Issues 7 and 8) is still doing quite well. Its last general meeting was held on June 27th in Toronto with guest speakers Michel Brault from the Syndicat National du Cinéma and Robert Desjardins from the Secretary of State’s Film Office. Although not as exciting as past meetings and having poorer attendance (many members were out of town — working or on vacation) the meeting accomplished a lot. A brief to the Ontario Government offering a serious critique and partial endorsement of the Basset Brief (see Issue no. 6) was discussed and passed. Kirwan Cox was elected Executive Director, and — as usual — discussion on unions dominated the evening. For a detailed discussion on what the CCFM has accomplished and what its plans are for the future, see Opinion in this issue. Meanwhile — at Uncle Tom’s igloo... The Canada Week Committee, “‘not to be confused with the Committee for an Independent Canada” recently held a gala ball at $100 per couple to present an award to Gordon Stulberg, President of 20th Century Fox, for “being an outstanding Canadian.” th THE FILM ARTISTS “EXCHANGE” A NEW CONCEPT FAST, RELIABLE, SLICK Inquire about our special discount rates to freelancing film artists Cinema Canada 7
