I Like Movies
Lawrence, an awkward and anxious 17-year-old cinephile living in Burlington, ON, in the early 2000s, believes that he is on the path to a legendary filmmaking career – but so far it’s only gotten him as far as a job at the local video store. His blind ambition combined with his unique worldview confounds even those closest to him, and he soon starts to alienate his new manager Alana and even his best friend, forcing him to decide what he’s willing to sacrifice on the road to potential success.

2024 Spotlight: Films that A.I. Could Never Make

“The power of the human spirit will never be obsolete!” – Manborg (2013)

With A.I. creeping into all aspects of our lives, there’s been a worldwide discussion about how it will impact art, and films in particular. However, we know that there is no algorithm that can replicate the creativity, diversity, and originality of Canadian filmmakers. Nothing can replace the passion, soul, and personal vision that is at the heart of these 50 Canadian films made by Canadian humans for Canadian humans.

So this CanFilmDay, prove you’re not a bot by watching a great Canadian film!
