Advising the Secretary of State on Film

by John Boundy

Criteria, Feb. 1976, v. 2, no. 1, pp. 22-24

Interview with John Boundy regarding the overall diagnoses of film industry and culture in Canada during the mid-70s. "One of the most important things we have to do is a total overview of every aspect of film in Canada, [...] the company that makes TV commercials that seems to be thriving; the feature film section; the distribution section; the public, the private, the free, the commercial and non-commerical; because very few people have been able to look at every element in film and see how it interacts, interrelates to the other." (Boundy, 22)
