Film
The sobriquet "Hollywood North" has been applied to Vancouver; it hosts the production of approximately ten percent of Hollywood's movies. Many U.S. television and films series are shot exclusively in Vancouver. This is due to multiple factors, including being in the same time zone as Los Angeles, tax credits provided by the BC government, and the fact that in the city and its environments there are numerous "looks" that can make Vancouver seem like many different locations around the world. Today, Vancouver is North America's third largest producer of movies after Los Angeles and New York, and North America's second largest producer of television shows.

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
“All film directors, whether famous or obscure, regard themselves as misunderstood or underrated. Because of that, they all lie. They’re obliged to overstate their own importance.”
—François Truffaut (1932–1984)
“His education lay like a film of white oil on the black lake of his barbarian consciousness. For this reason, the things he said were hardly interesting at all. Only what he was.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
