    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the current state of Canadian film and argues for a redefinition of what constitutes a Canadian film. While Canadian filmmakers have achieved success with movies like "Women Talking," "Past Lives," and "Bottoms," these films are not considered Canadian because they were financed by American studios. The article suggests that Canadian film funding should be expanded to include movies made by Canadians but financed by American studios, as this would lead to more financial success and opportunities for Canadian filmmakers. The author emphasizes the importance of creative ownership and the development of Canadian voices in the film industry. [Extracted from the article]
