	Cinema of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The major festival is the Toronto International Film Festival and is considered one of the most important events in North American film, showcasing Hollywood films, cinema from around the world, and Canadian film.
		Although Canadian films have often received critical praise, and the National Film Board has won more Academy Awards than almost any other institution (for both their animation and documentary work), it is almost a national joke that Canadian films fail to make back their production costs at the box office.
		Canada's film industry competes directly with that of the United States.

	Eastern Eye - A Brief History of Film in Nova Scotia - Nova Scotia Archives & Records Management
		One of the most prolifically produced film genres during the first half of the twentieth century was the newsreel, a compilation of current events intended to inform, educate, and entertain.
		Film Bureau films, on the other hand, were produced in the region by local directors and technical personnel with a vested interest in presenting their own world accurately.
		The successes of the early independent film companies and film-makers, the Nova Scotia Film Bureau, and the regional studios of the NFB and CBC may be attributed to a tradition of risk-taking which was established from the cinema's inception in the region.

	dallasobserver.com \| Film \| Northern Extremes
		Made by Canada's first Inuit production company, this powerful mixture of tribal taboo, bloody violence and family preservation derives from an Inuit legend that's been passed down through almost a hundred generations struggling to survive on the sea-ice of the Arctic.
		Director Kunuk believes one way to reclaim traditions lost to time and the incursion of mainland culture is to film them, and to that end he and his extraordinarily perceptive cinematographer, Norman Cohn, have reproduced a wealth of ethnographic detail that would dazzle Robert Flaherty.
		But the gorgeous chill that envelops the film's harsh landscapes in all seasons (it was shot near Iglooik, in the North Baffin region of the Canadian Arctic) and this cast and crew's loving grasp of the eternal cycles of birth, life and death will prove irresistible for moviegoers in the right frame of mind.

		The immediacy and perceived truth of the visual image, as well as film and television's ability to propel viewers back into the past, place the historic film genre in a unique category.
		And despite claims for the alleged impact of widespread television coverage of the Vietnam War, it is actually films such as Apocalypse Now and Platoon which have provided the most powerful images of what is seen as the "reality" of that much disputed conflict.
		Exploring the relationship between moving images and the society and culture in which they were produced and received, World War II, Film, and History addresses the power these images have had in determining our perception and memories of war.
