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.

Notes foran article lcould not write 48 Cinema Canada Someone once imprinted the phrase “‘Honesty is the best policy’’ on my impressionable mind (I think the culprits were my parents) and I haven’t been able to erase it since. I went to great lengths to write a piece about 125 Rooms of Comfort. I tracked down stills, got cast and crew lists, studied resumés, read backgrounds, talked to anyone/everyone involved in it. I really tried. Couldn’t do it. All I’ve got is 125 versions of confusion, 125 visions of collages... Talked to producer Don Haig. Suffering from paternal labour pains. He’s one of the most respected editors in the business. Has his own company — Film Arts. Produced their first feature. Haig really believes in this film. He’s beautiful. After getting enough of a reputation (and resulting work) to be able to take it easy in security — he’s got the itch. Taking enormous risks. Hassled through the CFDC rewrites, the on-again-off-again money, and is now ready to hassle through the insanity of trying to get a low-budget Canadian feature seen. May the Gaffer in the Sky bless producers like him... Interviewed Patrick Loubert. Very nervous about the film. Took so long, so long. Innovative, talented, he’s one of that precious handful of emerging directors English Canada needs so desperately. He’s young, yet old enough to have bittersweet memories of starving on Spadina and wondering if you could make another film by hocking your useless honors awards
