Paperback. Condition: Good. Twenty years ago, Vancouver didn't exist on any map of the film world. Today, Vancouver is at the heart of two film worlds. The city's American-based film industry is powerful enough to inspire loathing and threats from Hollywood, and its Canadian-based film scene is among the most acclaimed, provocative independent filmmaking communities anywhere. Vancouver Province movie critic David Spaner's Dreaming in the Rain is the story of West Coast Canada's emergence as a movie capital, from its early days as a Hollywood studio backlot, to its emergence as a place for movies of the week and television series like The X-Files, to its being home for local filmmakers like Mina Shum, Lynne Stopkewich, Bruce Sweeney, and countless others, who remain resolutely independent. Along with tracing the art and commerce of Vancouver filmmaking, he brings to life the flamboyant film personalities who left their marks. There are Errol Flynn and his young companion Beverly Aadland, who spent the movie swashbuckler's last days partying in the Vancouver night life of the 1950s. There is also Robert Altman, who pioneered the Vancouver film industry, making films in the city long before becoming a legendary director. And there are local heroes such as The Matrix's Carrie Anne Moss, who grew up in Vancouver, and Kissed star Molly Parker and director Lynne Stopkewich, vital players in the groundbreaking Vancouver indie scene. And many more. Dreaming in the Rain features David's own interviews with, among others, Robert Altman, Molly Parker, John Travolta, Lynne Stopkewich, Beverly Aadland, Stephen J. Cannell, John Frankenheimer, Carrie Anne Moss, Helen Shaver, Mina Shum, Sylvester Stallone, Nicholas Campbell, Ken Olin, Bruce Sweeney, Parker Posey, Chris Haddock, Sandra Oh, Barbara Parkins, Willem Dafoe, Nick Mancuso, Chris Carter, Sandy Wilson, Ian Tracey, Selma Blair, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Carole Laure, Ellie Harvie, Norman Jewison, Barbara Williams, Babz Chula, Bif Naked, and Anne Wheeler. Includes more than 40 black and white photographs.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Revealing the history of how Hollywood, with its eye on the bottom line, arguably lost its ability to support the work of creative filmmakers, Shoot It! is a passionate portrait of the American independent film scene that has produced some of the best movies of the last two decades and inspired those in other countries to do the same.

Paperback. Condition: New. The year 1983 began like any other year in Canada' s West Coast province. Then suddenly everything changed. The newly elected provincial government announced an avalanche of far-right legislation that shocked the country. A resistance movement called Solidarity formed across British Columbia and there were massive street protests, occupations, plans for an all-out general strike. Revolution in one province? Filled with revealing interviews and lively, insightful prose, David Spaner' s Solidarity goes behind the scenes of one of the great social uprisings in North American history. This book is a documentation of the Solidarity months of 1983 and more than that - 1983 is intimate storytelling, mixing popular culture and rebel politics, finding political answers in the personal lives of those touched by Solidarity. Like other uprisings - from France in 1968 to the anti-racism protests of 2020 - Solidarity arrived unexpectedly and rocked social foundations. In recreating this one singularly dramatic event, 1983 becomes the history of 20th century B.C. that hasn' t been written - exploring its great divides and unions, cultures and subcultures, conflicts that continue into the 21st century. The book 1983 brings Canadian history to life like never before.…
