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.

Lining up in an anti-litter commercial produced for the Manitoba Government and Outdoors Unlimited, Inc. credo wins favor by Jaan Pill photos from Credo Animation is one of the disciplines in which Canadian filmmakers excel. The First Symposium on Canadian Animation, on which Jaan Pill reports below, opens what will be a rich year for animators and their fans. Later this summer, Ottawa will host its second animation festival, making that city the meeting place for filmmakers from all over the world. The First Symposium on Canadian Animation, sponsored by ASIFA Canada, the National Film Board, the Cinémathéque Québécoise, the Canadian Film Institute and the Canadian Filmmakers’ Distribution Centre, was held at Toronto’s Harbourfront from March 31-April 2. Jaan Pill is a free-lance Toronto writer and a great fan of animated films. 32/Cinema Canada For my part, the highlight of the whole symposium was the series of animated commercials from the Credo Group in Winnipeg. A unique feature of Credo’s approach to animation is that in making the commercials its animators, such as Brad Caslor (Used Car for the Manitoba Consumers Bureau and Zooming Hoses for the Manitoba Energy Council, among others) and Chris Hinton (Harry the Furnace and Zambini for government agencies) each directed, designed, inked and did the backgrounds for their respective commercials. In other words, each commercial was the work of one person from start to finish. This fact was evident in all the Credo commercials and served to make them stand out: in color co-ordination, story-line, editing, as well as in terms of audience response. Another strong feature of the commercials was the fact that they were conceived first of all in the context
