Summary:
Indulge your love of Canadian films with 'A Century of Canadian Cinema'. Each entertaining review contains the film's director, writer, actors, plot, length and year of production. The guide contains films from the industry's earliest beginnings in Canada right up to the latest releases -- from 1920s silent films to David Cronenberg and Denys Arcand -- and it offers insight from a long-time industry observer into how and why these films have made an impact on the Canadian film industry and Canadian society. From plaid jacket and toque-wearing films shot in the Arctic to co-productions filmed in tropical climes, and from films shot in six weeks on a shoestring to ten-year ordeals that nearly meant the end of everyone involved our directors and actors have done it all.
