This chapter in the Oxford Companion to Canadian Cinema considers the contemporary renewal of landscape art in Canada, at the intersection of visual art and cinema. The contemporary artists and filmmakers in question have remade landscape in pictorial terms by remixing legacies from the visual arts and cinema and also in political terms, by calling attention to the damaged natural world of the Anthropocene, confronting Indigenous claims to the land, and foregrounding struggles over nationhood, identity, and collective memory.
