[Charles Tepperman]

Dear friends and colleagues-

I’m delighted to announce that Canadian Cinema in the New Millennium is now available!

This volume, co-edited by Lee Carruthers and myself and published by McGill-Queen's, features many wonderful essays (some by CCA members) about Canadian films, filmmakers, and film contexts since the year 2000 (see TOC below). We hope this work will be helpful to any of you with teaching, research, or passionate interest in Canadian film.

Canadian Cinema in the New Millennium<https://www.mqup.ca/canadian-cinema-in-the-new-millennium-products-9780228015949.php> is available directly from the the publisher's website - use 30% discount code MQSP until 30 June 2023. (And available from other booksellers, but without the discount). Please encourage your library to acquire a copy. Feel free to circulate the attached flyer widely.

We look forward to seeing you all and celebrating the publication of this book at Congress in May!

Charles

The University of Calgary is located on traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations).  The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III.  The traditional Blackfoot name of the place we now call Calgary is “Moh’kins’tsis” .
