REEL CANADA promotes the power & diversity of Cdn film through 3 core programs: OUR FILMS IN OUR SCHOOLS, WELCOME TO CANADA & NATIONAL CANADIAN FILM DAY 🇨🇦

REEL CANADA is a non-profit organization that celebrates Canada through film. Canadian films are the stories we tell about ourselves – they open the door to so many conversations about place, nation, identity, and what it means to be Canadian. REEL CANADA promotes the power and diversity of Canadian film and encourages this on-going conversation through three core programs: OUR FILMS IN OUR SCHOOLS, WELCOME TO CANADA, and NATIONAL CANADIAN FILM DAY. Through these programs, REEL CANADA increases audiences for our films, encourages dialogue and, most crucially, provides an opportunity to enjoy our great nation through the wonderful stories we tell. By celebrating Canadian cinematic storytelling we can build a stronger and prouder Canada.

A huge congrats to REEL CANADA Board Member, Mina Shum, on the opening of her fantastic comedy, Whatcha Want, at the Toronto International Film Festival!

The latest from writer-director Mina Shum (Double Happiness, Meditation Park), tells the story of a young woman from Hong Kong whose marriage to an affluent businessman is beginning to resemble a gilded cage.

We’re so proud to see Mina’s latest film take the TIFF stage. 🍁

It's officially the end of our Weekly Summer Watch Series!

Will you join us for one final hurrah? 👀 Well... until next summer, at least.

Watch François Girard's Oscar-winning drama, The Red Violin! 🎬

The Red Violin tells the tale of a very special instrument — a perfectly crafted 17th-century violin finished with a mysterious red glaze. The final masterpiece of a virtuoso craftsman, the violin sits in a Montreal auction house waiting to be sold.

As the auction proceeds, the violin’s history is revealed through four interconnected tales spanning 300 years.

🏆 Winner, Best Original Score - Oscars 2000

Our cultural sovereignty is not negotiable.

That’s why REEL CANADA unequivocally supports the Government of Canada’s withdrawal from trade talks with the USA.

And a friendly reminder: you don’t have to watch from the sidelines.

STAND UP FOR CANADA BY SITTING DOWN (to watch a great Canadian film).
