Reviews

Northern Getaway makes an extremely compelling case that pre-1939 Canadian cinema was part of the vanguard that harnessed the potential of motion pictures in the service of tourism promotion, subtly weaving a new narrative of relations between Canadian and American interests during the era in question. The result is frankly quite a profound reframing of Canadian film history, rescuing it from its common perception as a stunted branch-plant industry merely serving American interests. Peter Lester, Brock University
