The Oxford handbook of Canadian cinema

Marchessault, Janine, editor, Straw, Will, 1954- editor

Overview

\"The Oxford Handbook of Canadian Cinema is a rich, diverse overview of Canadian cinema. Responding to the latest developments in Canadian film studies this volume takes into account the variety of artistic voices, media technologies and places which have marked cinema in Canada throughout its history. Drawing on a range of established and emerging scholars from a range of disciplines, this volume will be useful to teachers, scholars and to a general readership interested in cinema in Canada. Moving beyond the director-focused approach of much previous scholarship, this book is concerned with communities, institutions, and audiences for Canadian cinema at both national and international levels. The choice of subjects covered ranges from popular, genre cinema to the most experimental of artistic interventions. Canadian cinema is seen in its interaction with other forms of art-making and media production in Canada and at the international level. Particular attention has been paid to the work of Indigenous filmmakers, members of diasporic communities and feminist and LGBTQ artists. The result is a book attentive to the complex social and institutional contexts in which Canadian cinema is made and consumed\"-- Provided by publisher.
