about POV

Published quarterly, Point of View is now available in Canada and around the world by subscription as well as on select newsstands across Canada.

Point of View’s mandate is to provide rich and incisive writing on documentaries and independent films made in Canada and abroad. Under the editorial direction of Marc Glassman, who has devoted more than 30 years to the arts as a film programmer, independent book shop owner, radio host and journalist, our articles have examined the aesthetics, history, ethics and funding and cultural policies that drive documentary filmmaking in Canada and abroad.

Point of View also provides indepth coverage of filmmakers, from Peter Mettler to Alanis Obomsawin to Nettie Wild. The magazine also features the latest documentaries and reporting from film festivals such as the Toronto International Film Festival, the Vancouver International Film Festival, Hot Docs, Reel Arts, Images Film Festival, Recontres Internationales du Documentaire de Montréal, Sundance and the International Documentary Festival in Amsterdam. Our belief in authentic expression in film and video resonates beyond the documentary movement to include articles and columns on new media, noteworthy production companies around the world and independent artists and art movements.
