Abstract
At the turn of the millennium Canadian cinema appeared to have reached an apex of aesthetic and commercial transformation. Domestic filmmaking has since declined in visibility: the sense of celebrity once associated with independent directors has diminished, projects garner less critical attention, and concepts that made late-twentieth-century Canadian film legible have been reconsidered or displaced. Canadian Cinema in the New Millennium examines this dramatic transformation and revitalizes our engagement with Canadian cinema in the contemporary moment, presenting focused case studies of films and filmmakers and contextual studies of Canadian film policy, labour, and film festivals. Contributors trace key developments since 2000, including the renouveau or Quebec New Wave, Indigenous filmmaking, i-docs, and diasporic experimental filmmaking. Reflecting the way film in Canada mediates multiple cultures, forging new affinities among anglophone, francophone, and Indigenous-language examples, this book engages familiar figures, such as Denis Villeneuve, Xavier Dolan, Sarah Polley, and Guy Maddin, in the same breath as small-budget independent films, documentaries, and experimental works that have emerged in the Canadian scene. Fueled by close attention to the films themselves and a desire to develop new scholarly approaches, Canadian Cinema in the New Millennium models a renewed commitment to keeping a vibrant conversation about Canadian cinema alive.-Provided by publisher.

Abstract
The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) is an institution profoundly woven into the fabric of Canadian culture. The documentaries they produced not only influenced cinematic language, but their stunning portrayals of the landscape has shaped our perception of the environment and our place in it. Screening Nature and Nation examines how Canadians have engaged with these films and how the depictions of the land and its people have reflected the prevailing attitudes of the times.-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract
Indigenous Celebrity speaks to the possibilities, challenges, and consequences of popular forms of recognition, critically recasting the lens through which we understand Indigenous people's entanglements with celebrity. It presents a wide range of essays that explore the theoretical, material, social, cultural, and political impacts of celebrity on and for Indigenous people. It questions and critiques the whitestream concept of celebrity and the very juxtaposition of "Indigenous" and "celebrity" and casts a critical lens on celebrity culture's impact on Indigenous people. Indigenous people who willingly engage with celebrity culture, or are drawn up into it, enter into a complex terrain of social relations informed by layered dimensions of colonialism, racism, sexism, homophobia/transphobia, and classism. Yet this reductive framing of celebrity does not account for the ways that Indigenous people's own worldviews inform Indigenous engagement with celebrity culture--or rather, popular social and cultural forms of recognition. Indigenous Celebrity reorients conversations on Indigenous celebrity towards understanding how Indigenous people draw from nation-specific processes of respect and recognition while at the same time navigating external assumptions and expectations. This collection examines the relationship of Indigenous people to the concept of celebrity in past, present, and ongoing contexts, identifying commonalities, tensions, and possibilities. -- Provided by publisher

Abstract
Follows the story of Canada's first national internment operations between 1914 and 1920, when over 88,000 people were forced to register and more than 8,500 were wrongfully imprisoned in internment camps across Canada, not for anything they had done but because of where they came from. In 1954, the public records were destroyed.

Abstract
The Camps" is a cross-Canada journey into the past, present and future. In the fall of 2015, the crew of Armistice Films embarked upon an historical journey. Armed with professional cinema cameras, four film professionals set out to document the remains of all of the internment camps used during Canada's First National Internment Operations from 1914 to 1920. At the internment sites, the crew interviewed a variety of individuals who have either a direct or indirect tie to the Internment Operations. They interviewed several internee descendants, including those of Ukrainian, German and Hungarian descent. They interviewed scholars, political leaders, activists, an RCMP officer, the Chief of Brandon Police Services, The Chief of The Batchewana First Nation, Museum Curators, a former Park Warden and Sculptor John Boxtel. In "The Camps", we hear three languages English, French (including 2 fully Francophone episodes) and Ukrainian, and see equal representation of both men and women. ... They address the individual camp and how each interview subject is connected to the history the audience is learning about, and why it is still relevant today."--Ukrainian Canadian Congress website.

Abstract
We follow a handful of iconic Rockies ski characters through Lake Louise, Sunshine, Mt. Norquay and even tick off a few backcountry classics. Spanning generations from the young Rocky Mountain Freeriders, to pros like Hjorleifson and Rubens, to ski legends like Eddie Hunter who’s been shredding these slopes since the 1930s, it seems that a sense of humility and raw mountain skill are commonplace amongst the characters hailing from the area. The grandeur of the these peaks have been carved over millennia and their raw nature reigns supreme, inspiring generations to seek adventure amongst the Canadian Rockies in a variety of forms.

Abstract
During the 1950s and 60s the late Hans Gmoser produced ten feature length films of ski touring, rock climbing and mountaineering adventures—capturing the alpine magic of the era. Hans Gmoser was one of the greatest mountain filmmakers in North America. Hans Gmoser donated his films to the Whyte Museum Archives in the 1990s. Hans Gmoser passed away in 2006, and in 2009 the Hans Gmoser Film Project was initiated when Chic Scott and Marg Saul, a Calgary Mountaineer, decided to pull the films from the Archives of the Whyte Museum and revive them. This project came with a number of significant challenges. Firstly, the films had to be digitized and then have music and narration added to them. One of the greatest concerns was to make sure these new editions were inline with the original films. Will Schmidt of Sky Light Productions was hired. Hans had originally given live narrations with the films during the original screenings, so his nephew Michael Hintringer, was used to narrate, using Hans' original scripts. Thanks to the tireless work of Chic Scott, Marg Saul, Will Schmidt and multiple donors the Hans Gmoser Film Preservation Project was completed in 2014. The set not only contains the ten films but also new interviews by Chic Scott with some of the stars of the films.
