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.

AAORT FILM REVIEWS ment and quick-cutting style establishes the brisk pace of the film within the first few minutes. A lot of information is revealed with the use of montage sequences of the technical and make-up preparations. The viewer is not allowed a chance to get bored. The pace of the film sympathetically reveals the hectic tempo of the production. The primary concentration of the camera focuses on director Betts. He is seen briefing performers backstage, holding auditions, guiding workshops and supervising the band rehearsals. These events are not ordered chronologically. The various elements are not isolated but are presented as a whole. The inter-cutting of the performance with the various stages of preparations gives the viewer a visual representation similar to that of memory. The film reminded me of my own past experiences with theatrical presentations. Producer, Peter Thomson said such a reaction is quite common with viewers. Although it is evident that the cast and crew worked very hard, their smiles and laughter pervaded. Jim Betts comes a cross as a director who was pleasant to work with. The Show: A Night of Starlight is an enjoyable film experience, that left this viewer convinced that it was fun to be a part of the musical’s production. D.M. Templeton ADVERTISING Alex L.
