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.

3-D animation ee ° ” ; . . . . ‘ , paces a Eater e a ES ——— First Hunt from the Jnuit series, Animette Canada’s fourth series of puppet-animated films 38/Cinema Canada plasticine an puppet people by Neil Warren 3 The world of animation, Disney, and the cartoon character. But what of the three-dimensional group — the puppet film? Puppets? Immediately you associate strings, marionettes, or even a ‘Punch and Judy’. Yet the process of puppet animation is much more involved than simply pulling strings... and it’s fighting for recognition and a place in Canada’s film industry and culture. In Europe, as everybody knows, puppetry is a tradition, particularly due to the influence of Jiri Trinka and his followers. They created a sort of ‘theatre of the old’, where the emotional magic of animation gave life and personality to a totally ‘dead’ thing, and people could lose themselves in these films. Well, a part of this culture and magic is finally starting to develop in this country. More independent groups are breaking away from the conventional cell work, and exploring new areas in the three-dimensional field. Neil Warren is a ‘plasticine’ puppet animator presently freelancing for CBC and independent groups. Graduated from Conestoga College, Film in 1975, he is working on a children’s short (‘plasticine’) for TV at the moment, as well as a promotional film. His first professional experience was with Animette, Canada.
