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.

ee AATON 16 / Super 16 The Adton.7 LTR is well known for its excellent image quality in the standard 16 mm format; it is not surprising then that it is the natural choice for those shooting Super 16 for blow-up to 35. Super 16 possibility was designed into the LTR right from the start, which is an advantage no other 16 mm camera today can boast of. In 1/1.66 image format, Super 16 provides 40% more image surface than does standard 16; the consequent gain in quality is considerable. And in simple economics, the advantage is clear : 75% saving on rawstock, and 50% saving on post-production, compared to shooting original 35 mm. The increased mobility of a truly handheld camera (the LTR weighs about 6 kilos with film and on-board battery) is also a plus for Super 16. Setting the LTR up for Super 16 is an easy job : change of aperture plate and viewing screen, and adjustment of the lens holder optical center. It takes about an hour, including fine adjustments and testing. Some fifty feature productions have already been shot on Super 16 Aatons. ——a a : Bob Young, Director of film made by Du Art Laboratories New York to compare Super 16 & 35 mm.
