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.

powerhouse presents In Montreal, there was another festival, less passionate, perhaps, than Vancouver’s Feminist Festival, but important as a show place for Canadian women’s films. Jane Dick gives a short report. A selection of films concerning women’s issues and made by Canadian women filmmakers was shown at Montreal’s Le Cinéma Paralléle October 10-14, presented by Powerhouse Gallery. The main emphasis of Powerhouse is to provide a centre which reflects the trends of women artists.

Femmedia and Studio ‘D’ of the National Film Board also assisted in the festival. Seventeen films were presented, most of them from Montreal and Toronto and they played to packed houses every night. Proceeds were shared 50-50 between Powerhouse and Le Cinéma Paralléle. Most of the films were documentary though there were a few animated films, including three by Veronika Soul, and two fiction films — Lois Siegel’s Recipe to Cook a Clown and Nesya Shapiro’s Passages. Among the documentaries were several portraits of individual women.
