Description

Trade Review“Canadian Cinema in the New Millennium convenes a diverse symposium of critical interventions on the last twenty years. A renewal of critical activity is exactly what we need right now, and that’s what this terrific collection gives us.” Jerry White, University of Saskatchewan and editor of The Cinema of Canada
“This rigorous academic anthology is broadly fuelled by the idea that Canadian cinema post-2000 - or at least that with a strong sense of national identity - didn't capitalise on the '80s/'90s international breakthroughs of directors like Atom Egoyan and David Cronenberg. The how and why of the situation are explored alongside case studies of hotshot auteurs (Sarah Polley, Xavier Dolan, Denis Villeneuve). There are also compelling essays on the rise of Indigenous directors, festival funding, Canadian horror and a 'new wave' of Quebec cinema.” Total Film
