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.

So is it any wonder that the film artists of the Me Generation have turned to autobiographical film? The size and quality of the movement were measured recently when the Art Gallery of Ontario presented The Conference on Autobiographical Film in November. “My friend was dying, he was only 30 years old and I made the film for him, to give him immortality. And I made the film for myself. 1 couldn't handle his dying, wasting away with liver cancer. I had to immerse myself in the ordinary events of everyday life 30/Cinema Canada banal, undramatic, but normal. It was the only way for me to deal with David’s dying. So I made the film Life and Other Anxieties.” These words belong to New England filmmaker and teacher Ed Pincus. He was showing his film at a unique event — The Conference on Autobiographical Film held November 4-5 at Toronto’s Art Gallery of Ontario.
