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).

Today is World Photo day! 📸

In honour of this special day, here’s a film we think deserves a spot on your watchlist:

🎥Jennifer Baichwal's award-winning Manufactured Landscapes* (2006), is a remarkable meditation on humanity’s impact on the environment, following internationally acclaimed photographer Edward Burtynsky to China, where he documents industrial landscapes and their impact on the surrounding natural world.

Exploring the surprising beauty amid the waste generated by factories and dumps, Burtynsky and documentarian Jennifer Baichwal travel across the vast landscape, capturing incredible visuals that need little commentary.
