In Canada the state invests millions in support of a national film (and

mostly generic television) industry yet remains quite unwilling to

exercise the political will to engage access by Canadian films to

Canadian theatrical movie screens.

 

Key texts on Canadian state film policy are:

 

Michael Dorland, "So Close to the State/s" University of Toronto Press,

1998.

 

Manjunath Pendakur, "Canadian Dreams and American Control: The Political

Economy of the Canadian Film Industry" Garamond Press, 1990.

 

Ted Magder, "Canada's Hollywood: The Canadian State and Feature Films"

University of Toronto Press, 1993.
