Quote:
"As to the film work in Canada, there was a great rapport between the rural areas and the film-makers, and perhaps this was strongest in relation to the agricultural film unit—for the rural film circuits were aimed primarily at the farm audience outside the radius of the commercial houses—as the Film Act laid down. The field men brought to us comments, criticism, and suggestions, and I think that we tried our best to listen and act on them. At any rate we appreciated the effort to communicate, and found excitement and inspiration in it. I do not believe anything like this exists today."
