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.

Unfortunately, lack of space has obliged us to hold back the announced articles concerning scriptwriting until issue no. 44 (which will be out in mid-January). Then, readers can ponder the facts in Gordon Roback’s survey of film professionals as they are asked about scriptwriting, and can get a feel — with a little help from Douglas Bowie — about the tensions involved when one tries to write for film. Issue no. 43 does include an additional section about Martin Delfalco’s film, Cold Journey. This section was sponsored by the Department of Indian Affairs, in conjunction with the National Film Board of Canada. December-January 1978 /3
