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.

CF.E. NEWS The CFE Award for excellence in film editing —Eric Wrate cfe This is the first year that the CFEG will be giving a piece of sculpture as an award for excellence in film editing. The award was designed by Maryon Kantaroff, a sculptor with a very impressive background. The piece to be given is an abstract design, in bronze, and mounted on a small marble base. It is a superb piece, that will be a pleasure to look at and an honour to own. There will be six only presented this year. Films that receive this award will be of the highest merit. Kodak Canada Ltd. gave us the financial assistance to develop our own design, for which we again thank them. The film industry has given a great show of support, and the following companies have each sponsored the award shown against their names: Bellevue-Pathé Ltd. Drama Category. Kodak Canada Ltd. Documentary Category. Quinn Laboratories Ltd. & Mirrophonic Sound Services Industrial & Sales Promotion Category. Alex L. Clark Ltd. Educational Category. Soundmix Ltd. Sound Editing Category. Kingsway Film Equipment Ltd. Commercials Category. Support has also come from many other companies, who have offered their various support in other directions, and for future additions, and for this we would like to thank MacKenzie Equipment Ltd. Medallion Film Laboratories Ltd. MS Art Services Ltd. Film Opticals (who greatly assisted with one of the designs, which was developed). I’m almost frightened to mention names in case I forget somebody, because there has been so much help given. The Committee for the Editing Awards have been working hard, enlisting the talented judgement of some of the most outstanding people in the Canadian Film Industry and we thank both the Committee and the Judges for their valuable time. 66 Cinema Canada The finalist Judges are: Feature — Drama category Julian Roffman Producer, presently working at the C.B.C.

In July this year while attending a meeting of the Guild’s Montreal Chapter, George Appleby cfe discussed the possibility of the CFE establishing film Potterton Films editing standards on a national level. His remarks attracted the attention of Robert Desrosiers, Corporate Supervisor Film Production CBC, who subsequently contacted the CFE National Executive and offered his assistance. This month the Guild’s President, Kit Hood cfe, and First Vice President, Phil Auguste cfe, met with Mr. Desrosiers and discussed the feasibility of both organizations co-operating fully in this project. The results of their discussion are outlined in the following letter from Mr. Desrosiers. Mr. Kit Hood c.f.e., President, Canadian Film Editors Guild Dear Kit: Our Thursday meeting of last week was very rewarding. Both of our organizations will join forces in trying to establish editing practices on a national basis. As discussed, the first phase will be to recommend a practice on the utilization of leaders. Gathering of information on present usage of leaders will be divided between our two organizations, with CBC looking within its own operation, NFB and laboratories in Canada. The Guild will look into the private sector; OECA and other similar groups. We already have available SMPTE and ACL (Association of Cinema Laboratories) recommended practices. With this as a starting point, we should be able to set our next meeting in Toronto during the SMPTE Conference, Nov. 10-15, 1974. Sincerely, Robert B. Desrosiers, Corporate Supervisor, Film Production, Corporate Film Office. The CFE is pleased to announce the appointment of Alan Avrith cfe, as Regional Director of the Canadian Film Editors Guild’s Eastern Region. Alan’s work on behalf of the Guild has already started to have its effect and has gained some new faces from the Montreal editing fraternity. Also, he is hoping to duplicate John Watson’s success with our clearinghouse, so if any Montreal editors want to know about available work — or Producers who have jobs to offer — contact Alan at: (514) 845-2402.
