Canuck - A History of Canadian Cinema (18+)

Despite recent claims to the contrary – Canada is very much its own nation, with a unique storytelling sensibility that draws on its diverse peoples, histories and language. Join one of its exports (Kenton Hall) for this 4-week guide to the cinematic wonders of the Great White North.

With the proliferation of Canadian artists in Hollywood and the tendency of the country to double for its southern neighbour whenever money gets tight, it might be tempting to lump the two cinematic cultures together. But – despite certain recent claims to the contrary – Canada is very much its own nation, with a unique storytelling sensibility that draws on the multiple strands of its history and peoples, across languages and backgrounds. Join one of its exports (Kenton Hall) for this 4-week guide to cinematic wonders of the Great White North.
