A number of Canadian films are losing funding from a government fund set up to support Canadian films. The reason? They’ve been judged not Canadian enough. This year the fund introduced a ranking system judging their Canadianness, based on a system of points. One filmmaker denied funding says: “You couldn’t get more Canadian unless you dressed in Canadian flags. I’m aghast at these new guidelines. It’s a reason to leave Canadian filmmaking altogether.” – National Post (Canada) 06/06/00
