    Canadian Film History: 1939 to 1973

    Filmmaking is a powerful form of cultural and artistic expression, as well as a highly profitable commercial enterprise. From a practical standpoint, filmmaking is a business involving large sums of money and a complex division of labour. This labour is involved, roughly speaking, in three sectors: production, distribution and exhibition. The history of the Canadian film industry has been one of sporadic achievement accomplished in isolation against great odds. Canadian cinema has existed within an environment where access to capital for production, to the marketplace for distribution and to theatres for exhibition has been extremely difficult. The Canadian film industry, particularly in English Canada, has struggled against the Hollywood entertainment monopoly for the attention of an audience that remains largely indifferent toward the domestic industry. The major distribution and exhibition outlets in Canada have been owned and controlled by foreign interests. The lack of domestic production throughout much of the industry’s history can only be understood against this economic backdrop. This article is one of four that surveys the history of the film industry in Canada. The entire series includes: Canadian Film History: 1896 to 1938; Canadian Film History: 1939 to 1973; Canadian Film History: 1974 to Present; Canadian Film History: Regional Cinema and Auteurs, 1980 to Present.

    Canadian Painting in the 19th Century

    Prior to the emergence of distinctively Canadian modernist painters in the 20th century (e.g., Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven, Emily Carr and David Milne), Canadian painting closely followed conventional, academic European models and tastes. This did not change after the 1840s. Cornelius Krieghoff captured the habitant lifestyle along the St. Lawrence River, while Paul Kane and Frances Anne Hopkins sketched and painted the First Nations people and landscapes of Western Canada. But as the century progressed, artists in Canada increasingly began to address specifically Canadian themes. The influence of photography, especially the work and studios of William Notman, was significant. The Royal Canadian Academy of Arts (RCA) was founded in 1880 and various artists’ groups thrived heading into the 20th century.
