This podcast will be all about film seen from multiple perspectives. The one thing that will be missing are actual movie reviews.

We will talk about film history, film theory, film technology and the film business. We will have reviews of books on movies and interviews with authors of books on movies. We will have different takes on the Hollywood film industry with such topics as; unions, money, mob influence, US military influence and much much more. We will take a global perspective on movies, covering a wide range of national cinemas, including, of course, the Canadian film industry. episodic George Kaplan What is the NFP all about?
