Modernist Canadian films tend to support what film scholar Jim Leach calls "the nationalist-realist project," a documentary style that emphasizes the exoticism and mythos of the land. Over the past several decades, however, the hegemony of Anglo-centrism has been challenged by francophone and First Nations perspectives and the character of cities altered by a continued influx of immigrants and the development of cities as economic and technological centers. No longer primarily defined through the lens of rural nostalgia, Canadian urban identity is instead polyphonic, diverse, constructed through multiple discourses and mediums, an exchange rather than a strict orientation. Taking on the urban as setting and subject, filmmakers are ideally poised to create and reflect multiple versions of a single city. Examining fourteen Canadian films produced from 1989 to 2007, including Denys Arcand's Je?sus de Montre?al (1989), Jean-Claude Lauzon's Le?olo (1992), Mina Shum's Double Happiness (1994), Cle?ment Virgo's Rude (1995), and Guy Maddin's My Winnipeg (2007), Film and the City is the first comprehensive study of Canadian film and "urbanity"--the totality of urban culture and life. Drawing on film and urban studies and building upon issues of identity formation in Canadian studies, Melnyk considers how filmmakers, films, and urban audiences experience, represent, and interpret urban spatiality, visuality, and orality. In this way, Film and the City argues that Canadian narrative film of the postmodern period has aided in articulating a new national identity.Motion picturesCanadaHistoryCity and town life in motion picturesCities and towns in motion picturesQuebec studiesAtom EgoyanFilm criticismRobert LepageBruce McDonaldPostmodern filmGuy MaddinBruce SweeneyPatricia RozemaCanadian filmMina ShumUrban studiesDeepa MehtaJean-Claude LauzonDenis VilleneuveClement VirgoGary BurnsDenys ArcandJim LeachMotion picturesHistory.City and town life in motion pictures.Cities and towns in motion pictures.791.43Melnyk George801173MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUkMaJRUBOOK9910140527203321Film and the city1924567UNINA01713nam0 22003491i 450 UON0032209820231205104144.63520090320d2005 |0itac50 baaraLB|||| 1||||Kitab usul al-dinLil-batriyark Iliyya al-thani (1131)haqqaqahu 'an al-mahtutat wa-qaddama lahu al-ab Ganmariya GanatasaBeyrouth : Editions du CEDRAC20052 v.23 cmAltro front. in franc.ARA VI E 017-018UON00022524INV.
