Discover Canadian film!

Movies both create and powerfully reflect national identities. Films from the United States, Britain, France, India, and Australia showcase their country's cultures and values and, as important by-products, invite tourism and stimulate trade.

But what about Canada? Many nations, through combinations of funding and regulation, go to considerable lengths to support and protect their film industries. Canadian producers and directors create remarkable movies in an environment where access to distribution is, at best, difficult, and where government policies are not always helpful.

Canadian Film Online is designed to give university students access to the substantial body of, often forgotten, work created by our film makers.

Note: At present this collection is accessible by AU staff and students. However, other groups can contact AU Library's Digitization Team for assistance.
