Using a critical cultural policy studies framework, Druick develops the concept of "government realism" to describe films featuring ordinary people as representative of segments of the population. She demonstrates the close connection between NFB production policies and shifting techniques developed in relation to the evolution of social science from the 1940s to the present and argues that government policy has been the overriding factor in determining the ideology of NFB films. Projecting Canada offers a compelling new perspective on both the development of the documentary form and the role of cultural policy in creating essential spaces for aesthetic production.Arts insights.Documentary filmsSocial aspectsCanadaEducational filmsSocial aspectsCanadaDocumentary filmsCanadaHistory and criticismEducational filmsCanadaHistory and criticismCanadaCultural policyDocumentary filmsSocial aspectsEducational filmsSocial aspectsDocumentary filmsHistory and criticism.Educational filmsHistory and criticism.070.1/80971Druick Zoe1140973MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812618103321Projecting Canada4067663UNINA
