More Description World Film Locations: Toronto explores and reveals the relationship between the city and cinema using a predominately visual approach. The juxtaposition of the images used in combination with insightful essays help to demonstrate the central role that the city has played in a number of films, and encourages the reader to frame an understanding of places, Toronto and the world around us. The volume shows the cities historical progression into an international city and demonstrates the narrative interests that it has continued to inspire amongst filmmakers, both Canadian and International. With support from experts in Canadian studies, the volume’s selection of films successfully show the many facets of Toronto and also provides insider’s access to a number of sites that are often left out in scholarship on Toronto in films, such as Pinewood Studios Group’s Toronto location. The 2014 release of this attractive volume is a particularly welcome addition to the international celebrations of the city this year.
