FILM 1000 Lecture Notes - Lecture 22: Cognitive Dissonance, Auteur Theory
Document Summary
Contemporary quebec cinema iv - the quebec horror. Review of the first three units, with focus on this unit. 4 questions on french cinema, one question on other units. Review pages at the end of the main tests. There has been a switch in the mentality towards genre films. We still have auteurs and auteurism, but also, we have a lot of quebecois filmmakers that are focused on producing their own quebecois genre films: we can talk about a national cinema that is a thriving industry. When we realize that in quebec this is happening, we see that the film production in the country is reaching maturity. We can expand beyond our borders: the industry has matured and become diversified. There is room in quebec for auteur-driven features as well as genre films. This is said by jean chaput, president of the sodec: we have government funding that are putting more emphasis on profitability.
