Examining fourteen Canadian films produced from the 1980s onward, Film and the City is the first comprehensive study of film and "urbanity"-the totality of urban culture and life as refracted through the filmmakers prism. Drawing on insights from both film and urban studies and building upon issues of identity formation long debated in Canadian studies, Melnyk considers how filmmakers interpret and employ the spatiality, visuality, and orality of urban space and how audiences read the films that result. In this way Film and the City argues that Canadian narrative film of the postmodern period has contributed to the articulation of a new, multifaceted understanding of national identity.--Back cover
