“Non-Theatrical with Dreams of Theatrical”: Paradoxes of a Canadian Semi-Documentary Film Noir
View through CrossRef
Le contexte de production et la complexité formelle du semi-documentaire de l'ONF File 1365 : The Connors Case (1947) reflètent l'angoisse de la guerre froide et, en particulier, l'inquiétude des employés de l'ONF qui étaient constamment sous surveillance policière à l'époque. Ce film présente un amalgame typiquement canadien de campagne de recrutement pour la GRC, de documentaire sur les procédures policières et de film à suspense. En faisant référence au film noir semi-documentaire hollywoodien, l'auteure suggère que File 1365 est un documentaire noir. Bien que ses excès esthétiques et son contexte politique aient relégué ce film aux oubliettes, son hybridlté formelle exprime plusieurs des questions sociales et politiques les plus importantes de cette époque laissée-pour-compte de l'histoire canadienne.
