World Film Locations: Vancouver highlights the work of such
Canadian filmmakers who have received less attention than they
merit, whilst bringing insight into how so-called 'runaway'
productions from Hollywood use Vancouver to stand in for other
locations, from Seattle, USA to Lagos, Nigeria. Analyses of 38
different film scenes reveal the cinematic city in its myriad
forms, while spotlight essays provide insight into the creativity
and contradictions of Vancouver's film industry throughout the
ages. The essays examine the following topics: the masking of
Vancouver's indigenous stories in filmic representations of the
city; Australian screenwriter James Clavell's Vancouver-set debut
The Sweet and the Bitter; Sylvia Spring's Madeleine Is..., the
first female-directed feature in Canada; Jonathan Kaplan's The
Accused, for which Jodie Foster won an Oscar; and, the use of
Vancouver locations in a number of US television crime series.
World Film Locations: Vancouver offers new perspectives on the west
coast city and in doing so sheds further light upon the
relationship between the movies and the metropolis.
