Discovering the Movies in New Brunswick - by David Folster (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A Surprising History of Cinema.

When David Folster discovered that some of the earliest documentary motion pictures were made in New Brunswick-wildlife and wilderness adventure movies-he began the research that led to this book.

This lively account of movie making pioneers in New Brunswick includes the stories of local entrepreneurs who established the motion picture theatre business in the province. In addition, it tells the stories of New Brunswickers who became key players in the movie industry. The book concludes with an epilogue on contemporary NB filmmakers and the state of the art in the province.

Discovering the Movies in New Brunswick is a unique and highly entertaining contribution to the cultural history of the province and to the history of cinema in general.
