Film is the art form of our times. It has formed the background of our lives, informed visual arts practices, and formed our culture's stories, its memory. Moments of Perceptionis a landmark book. The first history of twentieth and early-twenty-first-century Canadian experimental filmmaking, it maps avant-garde films from the 1950s to the present day, including their contradictions and complexities. Experimental film is political in its very existence, critical of the status quo by definition. In Canada, some of the country's best-known artists took up the moving image as a form of artistic expression, allowing them to explore explicitly political themes. Mike Hoolboom's exposure of the horror of AIDS, Josephine Massarella's concern for the environment, and Joyce Wieland's satiric look at US patriotism are just a few examples of work that contributed to social movementsand provided a means to explore issues of race and gender and LGBTQ2S+ and Indigenous identities. Featuring a major essay on the history of the movement by film scholar Mike Zryd and profiles of key filmmakers by film historian Stephen Broomer and editors Jim Shedden and Barbara Sternberg, Moments of Perceptionoffers a fresh perspective on the ever-evolving history of Canada's experimental film and moving-image media arts.

In this authoritative work, Seiler and Seiler argues that the establishment and development of moviegoing and movie exhibition in Prairie Canada is best understood in the context of changing late-nineteenth-century and early-twentieth-century social, economic, and technological developments. From the first entrepreneurs who attempted to lure customers in to movie exhibition halls, to the digital revolution and its impact on moviegoing, Reel Time highlights the pivotal role of amusement venues in shaping the leisure activities of working- and middle-class people across North America.

Creative Industries in Canada is a foundational text that encourages students to think critically about creative industries within a Canadian context and interrogate the current state and future possibilities of the industry. While much of current creative industries literature concerns the United Kingdom, the United States, and Asia, this text captures the breadth of how Canadian industries are organized and experienced, and how they operate. This ambitious collection aims to guide students through the current landscape of Canadian creative industries through three thematic sections. “Production” collects chapters focused on how national discourses and identities are produced through creative industries and the tensions that exist between policy and media. “Participation” explores how we engage with these industries in different roles: as consumer, creator, policy-maker, and more. “Pedagogies” explores how education impacts inclusion and visibility in creative industries. Truly intersectional, Creative Industries in Canada provides students with practical industry knowledge and frameworks to explore the current state of the field and its future. With a broad application to many undergraduate programs, this text is a must-read resource for those pursuing media studies, arts management, creative and cultural industries studies, communications, and arts and humanities.
