Coming Soon
The Canadian Moving Picture Database will have content that is entirely crowdsourced. The Database will feature pages on Canadian projects, organizations and people from coast to coast to coast. If you work on films / videos / new media projects / television / webseries / etc. that are made in Canada and/or by Canadians, then be sure to come back to add your work to the database!
We are also working on a Calendar that will show Canadian screenings from across the country by region or by genre. Got a screening? Make sure you add it to the calendar (once it’s launched).
Keep an eye open for our movie of the month recommendations with Beaver Tales and True North Docs that will help us all discover what Canada has to offer!

A Bit About Our Mandate
Our goal is to provide independent Canadian filmmakers with a platform to reach audiences directly. We hope to assist independent Canadian media artists in showing Canada – and the world – what we’re capable of. Part of our mission is to use past projects to support the present ones being released.
The site endeavours to be inclusive rather than exclusive to Canadians by providing additional online space to all genres and formats of Canadian moving pictures, and by supporting organizations from all corners of the country. Cinema Canadiana aims to help give a voice to the independent filmmakers of our nation by providing free online space for user-driven content, thus allowing for a diversity of voices to emerge.
Beyond being a crowdsourced site with a user-driven experience that promotes Canadian content, Cinema Canadiana’s design philosophy is two-fold. First, to utilize our website to drive users to other areas of the Internet that highlight the content created around these projects (official sites, places to see the work, reviews, interviews, etc.). Secondly, we will provide a forum to encourage dialogue in order to advance the knowledge and exchange of ideas, thus improving the capacity to appreciate the works.
Stay Tuned as we prepare to launch…
