Camera is a 2000 Canadian short film written and directed by David Cronenberg. The six-minute short was one of several made for the special Preludes program in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Toronto International Film Festival.[1] These films, all by Canadian directors, were commissioned as preludes for the festival in 2000.
The film was a Genie Award nominee for Best Live Action Short Film at the 22nd Genie Awards in 2002.[2]
