	Zero Patience - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The major notable feature of this film is that it refutes the urban legend of the alleged introduction of AIDS to North America by a single individual, Patient Zero.
		Burton, now the curator of a museum of natural history, is anxious to capture Patient Zero (Normand Fauteux) for his Hall of Contagion.
		The film also includes one of the most intensely controversial scenes in the history of Canadian film, in which two claymation anuses sing a song debating the merits of anal sex.

	Canadian Journal of Film Studies: YOU SHOULD KNOW SOMETHING-ANYTHING-ABOUT THIS MOVIE. YOU PAID FOR IT
		I argue that all the films of the tax-shelter boom need to be taken into account and, further, that certain titles that have been made invisible can be shown to be representative of attitudes associated with specific times and places of importance in Canadian history and culture.
		Yet these have been erased from Canadian film history because of their association with the period in which they were made.
		Films in the popular idiom, genre films with American stars, for example, are seen not to qualify as "Canadian." This common-sense claim demands unpacking and scrutiny.

	A Review of Canadian Feature Film Policy
		As hundreds of members of the press and film community shot back a few drinks and prepared to chow down at the Westin Hotel, Copps, flanked by her entourage, put forth what has become the typical Canadian government solution to a problem: propose another study.
		The authors of Copps' discussion paper are either being decidedly ingenuine or grossly ignorant of the history of the Canadian film biz.
		As Canadians have increasingly attended the cinemas over the past 10 years, the percentage of screen time for Canadian films has, amazingly, managed to shrink.

	Journal of Religion & Film: They Came from Within: A History of Canadian Horror Cinema by Caelum Vatnsdal, reviewed ...
		Hence, there is an attempt throughout the book to pinpoint what is truly ‘Canadian’ about the haphazard cinematic patchwork, which he playfully calls “tundra terror” or “hoser horror.” Finding a common national thread within a genre that has been undeniably marginal and unambiguously marginalized in the history of Canadian cinema is no easy task.
		The film’s subversive anti-authoritarian stance, and its depiction of the invasion of middle-class American living rooms by the (literal!) corpses of Vietnam, speaks to the impact of television in shaping public opinion against the war.
		The film also reminds us that praying to God for the safe return of a loved one in a combat zone may unexpectedly bring home the very real suffering of the war instead, which the nuclear family tends to repress and occlude.

	TAKE ONE: Genie goes to —: celebrating 50 years of Canadian film awards
		This worthy account of the the Canadian Film Awards/Genies is essentially an update of a book that was published in 1984 by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television.
		Originally titled A Pictorial History of the Canadian Film Awards, it has been long out of print and it is to the Academy's and its director's, Maria Topalovich, credit that finally a second edition is now available.
		The Canadian Film Awards (CFAs), latmched in 1949, were erratic at best, and with no feature-film industry to speak of in the 1950s and '60s, a lot of the awards went to television productions and industry shorts, many of which have now disappeared from view.

	Canadian Film Policy: History of Federal InitiativesIntroduction
		The National Film Board (NFB), created in 1939, was for many years the primary source of films designed to interpret Canada to Canadians and to other nations.
		The results were overwhelming, with production increasing from four or five films a year in the early 1960s to an average of more than 20 films a year in the period from 1968 to 1974.
		In recognition that a healthy film industry needs access to a growing pool of skilled filmmakers, a further goal of the Canadian government is to provide stable and sustainable funding for national training initiatives in the film sector.

		As one of the major corporations doing business in the Canadian west and north, with an involvement in the retail business, land sales and the fur trade, the HBC found itself in the midst of developments in public relations and corporate communications.
		In particular, films were used as public commemoration, glorifying the activities of the company in the past and present, and playing up the British imperial connections of the HBC.
		One of the aims of this paper is to reconnect the two major collections of HBC films, held at the National Film and Television Archives (NFTVA), British Film Institute (London) and the Hudson’s Bay Company Archives (HBCA), Provincial Archives of Manitoba (Winnipeg).

		Fans of Canadian independent cinema, of course, will know that David Secter holds a singular spot in the evolution of our national culture, a moment that marks its 40th anniversary this year.
		After Winter, David made The Offering (1966), a film about the romance that develops between a Chinese woman and a Canadian man as she tours the country with a dance troupe — one of the first interracial relationships depicted in a homegrown movie.
		Enhancing the film’s deeply personal tone are home-movie clips that David took when he visited a then-wee Joel’s family in Winnipeg.

		For political junkies, students of Canadian history, or anyone who has an interest in real-life drama, Kim Campbell: Through the Looking Glass is a fascinating study.
		The documentary begins and ends with brief glimpses of Kim Campbell in her role as Canadian Consul in Los Angeles, a position she treats with some irony as it was a gift of the man who defeated her, Prime Minister John Chretien.
		This video, useful for Canadian history or political science classes, could also trigger interesting discussions on the role of women in politics, including that of contrasting the national media's treatment of women to that of men in similar roles.
