National Canadian Film Day is presented by REEL CANADA, a charitable organization dedicated to introducing Canadians to the power and diversity of Canadian film. You can find out more about our educational and public programmes at reelcanada.ca. Of course, we couldn’t put on CanFilmDay without the hundreds of film festivals, cinemas, schools, retirement residences, libraries, embassies, military bases, community centres, museums and other unique venues who partner with us each year to host an event. We’re also grateful for the significant participation of our broadcast and streaming partners for the special programming they make available to Canadians on the Day.
We use #CanFilmDay or #JourCineCan in French. Please post, like, and share, and help spread the word. We are @canfilmday on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok.
Keep checking the See a Film section of our website for updates about events happening in your area, as well as on TV and streaming. There will be hundreds of Canadian films available that day – now you just have to choose!
Both! We have hundreds of in-person events happening this year, but there will also be some great online offerings (including special programming on TV or streaming on the day from our many broadcast and streaming partners). Wherever you are, and whatever you’re comfortable with, you can still participate.
All in-person events are planned in collaboration with local partners. Each event will have its own specific protocols and guidelines as determined by the partner host, and in accordance with local government regulations. If you have questions about a specific event, please contact the screening host directly.
