T he following is a list of current projects being produced in Canada. Only TV series and films over one hour are included. Projects are separated into four categories: On Location, Pre-production, Projects in Negotiation, and In the Can. While films in the project stage are subject to change, only those in active pre-production at the time of publication - those which have s et a date for beginning principal photography and are al so engaged in casting and crewing - are listed under Pre-production. The In Negotiation section is published every other month due to lack of turnover in projects.

The following is a list of current projects being produced in Canada. Only TV series and films over one hour are included. Projects are separated into four categories: On

Location, Pre-production, Projects in Negotiation, and In the Can. While films in the project stage are subject to change, only those in active pre-production at the time of publication - those which have set a date for beginning principal photography and are also engaged in casting and crewing - are listed under Pre-production. The In Negotiation section is published every other month due to lack of turnover in projects. Films are listed by the name of the company whicltinitiated the project, or by the company that is popularly associated with it. The production company is not necessarily the same company which initiated or is associated with the project.

When two companies are different, the name of the production company, if known, is given. If producers ask us not to list a project or to withhold certain credits because of ongoing negotiations, we respect their request.

cameras. At Clairmont: more

Arriflexes than any other rental facility in the World.

Only one of these pictures was shot with cameras from Clairmont. (Innerspace­

filmed by Andrew Laszlo, ASC.) But since we have more Arriflexes of all kinds than anyone else, we're glad these cameras are on a roll.

And this Wc\s the 5th year

In a row that the Cinema­

tograp-hy Award went to a

cameraman shooting with an

ARRI35BL.

Since 1973, in fact, two-thirds of the Academy Awards for Cinematography have been won by cameramen using Arriflex 35BL sync-sound cameras. This year the winner is Vittorio Storaro. We salute him and the other nominees.
