Film and the City is the first comprehensive study of Canadian film and “urbanity”—the totality of urban life and culture. Building upon issues of identity formation in Canadian studies, Melnyk considers how filmmakers, films, and audiences represent and experience urban spatiality, visuality, and orality, and shows how Canadian narrative film of the postmodern period aids in articulating a revised national identity.
