		<description><![CDATA[Though it&#8217;s not actually a film about Christmas, I&#8217;ve always associated Sheldon Cohen&#8217;s &#8220;The Sweater&#8221; with the holiday season, maybe because it evokes all of the bittersweet feelings that come with receiving an eagerly-awaited gift, only to discover that it isn&#8217;t quite what you wanted. It&#8217;s also probably the most quintessentially hivernal of all the [...]]]></description>

Movie stars and Cantopop celebrities flee there to escape the stress of their lives in Hollywood and Hong Kong; the less affluent find in Vancouver a place to get away from the constraints and conventions of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trafficopter, a 1972 National Film Board documentary by Barrie Howells, isn&#8217;t especially insightful, but it is certainly stylish. Following the traffic reporter for a Montreal radio station as he soars above the morning rush hour in a small helicopter, it gazes down at a miniature city caught up in the interminable grind of daily commerce.

He describes the open atmosphere of Paris as being particularly conducive to the creation of art. Implicitly, of course, he is referring to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The homeless guy pushing around a shopping cart full of bottles and cans is so well-entrenched in our imagination that it has become a bit of a stereotype. In cities with large concentrations of marginalized people, however, like Vancouver, they serve as a constant reminder of the dredges of the urban economy. When they are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It often seems like the subway is treated as a metaphor for urban life in general. When we&#8217;re immersed in the optimism of economic expansion, it represents progress and vitality. In more troubled times, it becomes a symbol of crime, danger, aggression and alienation. Last winter, while browsing the shelves in Stephen Welch&#8217;s bookstore on [...]]]></description>

Their wide-rimmed hats, like the kind traditionally seen on Tanka &#8220;boat people,&#8221; seem oddly anachronistic next to their reflective safety vests and surgical masks. Who are they?

		<description><![CDATA[Biking around at night is a uniquely satisfying experience. You begin to feel ownership as you pass through shadows and empty streets: for once, you have the city all to yourself, and it becomes a fantasy landscape, a blank slate for adventures and flights of fancy. Earlier today, while poking around the National Film Board&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When a street, neighbourhood or city is mythologized, its private spaces are torn open for the world to see. Stories might be just that&#8212;stories&#8212;but they have a way of humanizing the people that might otherwise be strangers. That&#8217;s what Mordecai Richler did for St. Urbain Street and Montreal&#8217;s old Jewish neighbourhood, which includes much of [...]]]></description>
