'Until now we have had no historical work as detailed and precise in its treatment of the highs and lows of this unique cinematographical institution. Gary Evans book fills the gap.'

Books in Canada:

'In the National Interest does a good job of tracing the connections from art to geo-politics and beyond; in so doing, it evokes the resonances of an era. This book will prove to be a valuable first resource for students of film and the NFB.'
