    CINÉ-FORUM OLOF HEDLING ”STOP WHINING AND GET ON WITH THE BASIC BUSINESS OF BEING BRITISH“: N otes on Robin Wood , C anada and the Concept of a National Film Culture Résumé: Après avoir émigré de l’Angleterre au Canada à la fin des années 1970, Robin Wood est devenu un critique « canadien » majeur. On lui a cependant reproché son manque d’enthousiasme pour le cinéma canadien. Son attitude face au cinéma canadien résultait en partie de l’influence du critique littéraire anglais F.R. Lewis. Mais elle découlait aussi des tendances intellectuelles et des préférences culturelles que Wood partageait avec d’autres jeunes chroniqueurs qui, comme lui, avaient contribué à la revue londonienne Movie au cours des années 1960 et 70. Wood a appliqué à la culture cinématographique canadienne la critique du cinéma national britannique et l’admiration pour le cinéma hollywoodien qui caractérisaient Movie . n the autumn of 1977 British film critic Robin Wood began teaching at York IUniversity in Toronto. While not giving up his British citizenship, Wood became an expatriate and, in a sense, a Canadian. The move obviously had con - sequences for Wood’s work, as the British and European situation Wood had addressed earlier was replaced by contemporary Canadian and North American issues. 1 Wood increased his ties to his adopted country by helping to organise a highly influential retrospective on the horror film at the 1979 Toronto International Film Festival—or the Festival of Festivals as it was called then. In the same year he delivered the Martin Walsh Memorial Lecture at the annual meeting of the Film Studies Association of Canada.

Uncut The official music video for The New Pornographers' ‘War On The East Coast’ premiered today at Rolling Stone and can be viewed/embedded now on YouTube. Of the video directed by Thom Glunt, A.C. Newman comments, “We were going for some mid nineties second tier brit pop attitude. In the past, I’ve never really wanted to be in the video. But with this, we wanted to have fun and fully be IN the video”. ‘War On The East Coast’ is taken from the band’s highly anticipated new album, Brill Bruisers, which is released on August 25th via Matador Records. Additionally, the title track, which was recently named “Best New Track” by Pitchfork, is available to hear and view at the band's interactive website www.thenewpornographers.com. Brill Bruisers is the first new release in four years from the acclaimed supergroup, who have been called, “Virtually peerless in the world of power-pop and indie-rock” by NPR Music. Additionally, the New Yorker describes the band’s music as, “...magnificent and clever…”, while Stereogum proclaims, “In recent history, no group has featured so much formidable established talent, collaborating on a regular basis.” Of the new album, lead-singer and main songwriter AC Newman comments, “This is a celebration record.
