National Canadian Film Day is back with Canadian films for everyone
Everybody loves movies. And who doesn’t like free entertainment?
This year, National Canadian Film Day (NCFD) — April 21st, 2021 — will offer an exciting world premiere, a wealth of free Canadian movies, nationwide watch parties and live discussions with Canadian filmmakers from across the country.
“Given the year we’ve all lived through, we are focusing on feel-good films, or films that offer inspiration for a better future, ” says Sharon Corder, Artistic Director of REEL CANADA. “We all certainly need it. I know I do.”
More than 40 film festivals throughout Canada are hosting national screenings and Q&As with filmmakers and stars. An additional 150+ community watch parties are being planned and more than 30 international events in countries around the world will be connected through this cultural event. Most of the nation’s major broadcast and streaming channels are running special programming on the day.
