  • Academic and public libraries will want this title for its scholarly features....the depth of coverage within its scope should make it a standard reference work on Canadian cinema.
    —Choice     May 2002
  • There is a humble quality in this remarkable reference book, humility towards its subject matter and towards a tradition of historical film research, exemplified for Rist by the work of William Everson (to whom he dedicates the book), and sustained to our benefit by Rist and his collaborators....[v]aluable archival work....[o]ffers much-needed information on Canadian cinema.
    —Canadian Journal of Film Studies     Fall 2002
Description: This new volume in the Greenwood Press series Reference Guides to the World's Cinema discusses the films and personalities of the Canadian cinema. This guide encompasses the diverse output of both the English and French Canadian communities and includes 175 films and 125 filmmakers and actors. Alphabetically arranged entries discuss important films, actors, directors, shorts, and a number of experimental films. With few exceptions, films are included only if their production company was incorporated in Canada. Similarly, filmmakers and actors represent people who have worked primarily in Canada. This guide will interest scholars, students, and film buffs. Brief bibliographies after each entry provide sources for further reading. Three appendixes provide additional information regarding Canadian born filmmakers and actors excluded from the main text, winners of Canadian film awards, and a listing of the top ten Canadian films.
