One of the cornerstones of Canadian culture, the National Film Board has throughout its history mirrored the social issues that preoccupy Canadians. Gary Evans traces the de- velopment of the postwar NFB, picking up the story where he left it at the end of his earlier work, John Grierson and the National Film Board: The Politics of Wartime Propaganda. Evans points out that although Ottawa has not meddled in the operation of the NFB, outside stimuli have regularly forced the Film Board to reassess its mandate, a process which often has brought about as much confusion as light. For example, the unbridled optimism and expansion of the fifties and sixties led to English Production's desire for 'democratization' of programming, an end to the power of executive producers, and an expansion of the Film Board's core of permanent employees, all of which nearly caused the organization to founder. On the French side, despite the filmmakers' preference for the feature film rather than the cinema verite documentary, many in Ottawa regarded their 'political' films as both unfair attacks on the federal system and anachronisms coming from a federal institution. Throughout, the English-French tug of war so integral to the Canadian identity is a recurring theme. Sources include interviews with former ministers, government film commissioners, policy-makers, and filmmakers, as well as archival documents and films. From them Evans has produced the first study to document the key trends in postwar Canadian filmmaking and to examine the role of film in the evolution of federal cultural policy.

Du tournant des années 1960 jusqu’au début des années 1980, une génération de cinéastes a œuvré au sein de l’Office national du film pour jeter les bases du cinéma québécois. L’auteure met l’accent sur la dimension communautaire du travail de ces cinéastes et sur le désir de communauté du public de cette époque. Grâce à une approche interdisciplinaire, elle dévoile les fondations d’une cinématographie de proximité qui fait une large place à la production de lien social. À l’issue de son enquête, elle fait ressortir l’inscription décisive de la socialité du don dans l’esthétique des films de cette période déterminante de l’histoire du cinéma québécois, et tout particulièrement dans ceux de Pierre Perrault. L’étude de la cinématographie québécoise permet de comprendre la fabrication du film et sa réception comme une épreuve de la communauté que vivent les filmeurs, les filmés et les spectateurs. C’est toute l’expérience relationnelle à la base du documentaire qui est ici repensée comme composante esthétique du film.

"Eldon Davis Rathburn (1916 2008), one of the most multi-dimensional, prolific, and endlessly fascinating composers of the twentieth century, wrote more music than any other Canadian composer of his generation. During a long and productive career that spanned seventy-five years, Rathburn served for thirty years as a staff composer with the National Film Board of Canada (1947-76), scored the first generation of IMAX films, and created a diverse catalogue of orchestral and chamber works. With the aid of extensive archival and documentary materials, They Shot, He Scored chronicles Rathburn's life and works, beginning with his formative years in Saint John, New Brunswick, and his breakthrough in Los Angeles in connection with Arnold Schoenberg and the LA Philharmonic Orchestra. The book follows his work at the NFB, his close encounters with some of the most celebrated international figures in his field, and his collaboration with the team of innovators who launched the IMAX film corporation. James Wright undertakes a close analytical reading of Rathburn's film and concert scores to outline his methods, compositional techniques, influences, and idiosyncratic approach to instrumentation, as well as his proto-postmodern proclivity for borrowing from diverse styles and genres. Authoritative and insightful, They shot, he scored illuminates the extraordinary career of an unsung creative force in the film and music industry."--
