Summary:"In One Hundred Years of Canadian Cinema, George Melnyk offers a twenty-first-century perspective on a fascinating film tradition, the distinctness of which has attracted the attention of the global cinematic community." "Melnyk's historical survey is comprehensive, examining the achievements of dramatic, documentary, and experimental film-making from the earliest days until the present, as well as the cultural, political, and theoretical trends that have shaped contemporary film in Canada." "Drawing on the insights of scholars, critics, and film-makers to provide a coherent appraisal of the state of the film industry and Canada's cinematic art as it enters its second century, Melnyk weaves the history of English and French Canada together in an attempt to understand the achievements and, ultimately, the failures of a 'national cinema.'"--BOOK JACKET.
