CYBERCARTOGRAPHIC ATLAS OF CANADIAN CINEMA
An initial analysis of the spatial distribution of movie theaters across Canada provides an interesting perspective on the relations between movie theaters and socio demographic characteristics and profiles. The geographical analysis serves to illustrate audience taste and diversity through a selection of Canadian films. This is done through the development of new forms of cinematic maps.

Cybercartographic Atlas
REQUIREMENTS - This atlas is experimental and under development (and not fully bilingual). Its access requires a HIGH SPEED INTERNET CONNEXION and a recent version of SAFARI or FIREFOX. It is based on the Nunaliit Framework. Due to the advanced, standards compliant nature of the technology powering the atlas, IT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WITH INTERNET EXPLORER. In order to hear the interactive audio available in some modules, you will need to have a recent version of Java installed. In addition, video is delivered in the advanced H.264 MPEG-4 format and the QuickTime player may be required for your system to view it. |
