North of Everything
This is the first book to comprehensively examine the development of English-Canadian cinema since 1980; previous books in English have dealt either with specific films or filmmakers, with policy, or with specific genres (avant-garde film, documentary, films by women, etc.). It deals with regional and institutional questions, with the new authors that are defining contemporary cinema in English Canada, with avant-garde work and work by Aboriginal people. Bringing together a wide variety of contributors, the book deals with an enormous amount of cinema that has helped transform North American culture of the last two decades.

Canadian Cinema Since the 1980s
Award-winning author David L. Pike offers a unique focus on the crucial quarter-century in Canadian filmmaking when the industry became a viable force on the international stage. Pike provides a lively, personal, and accessible history of the most influential filmmakers and movements of both Anglo-Canadian and Quebecois cinema, from popular movies to art film and everything in between. Along with in-depth studies of key directors, including David Cronenberg, Patricia Rozema and Denys Arcand, Jean-Claude Lauzon, Robert Lepage, Léa Pool, Atom Egoyan, and Guy Maddin, Canadian Cinema since the 1980s reflects on major themes and genres and explores the regional and cultural diversity of the period. Pike positions Canadian filmmaking at the frontlines of a profound cinematic transformation in the age of global media and presents fresh perspectives on both its local and international contexts. Making a significant advance in the study of the film industry of the period, Canadian Cinema since the 1980s is also an ideal text for students, researchers, and Canadian film enthusiasts.
