today is the 10-year anniversary of one of my best songs, Plastic People! i still remember filming the music video right after prom. and 16-year-old me rocked that tuxedo 😤
Toronto! Blue Heron is now playing at the Varsity for the next few days. If you’d like to move the needle on the ongoing issue of Canadians not watching Canadian films in theatres, now is your chance!
@SophyRomvari I have yet to see this and am interested any chance it will play in Winnipeg? Also it should be getting at least a week run not just a few days. If it does play in Winnipeg (hopefully) I imagine it would only play for a few days and my schedule won’t align with showtimes 😭
Cineplex the company does not care about Canadian films. Why are they invested in distribution deals on movies like The Strangers franchise when they could just add a bit of elbow grease to better promote Canadian festival darlings on major screens? They’re too self conscious.
@Victor_Lucas For better or worse it’s the way of the world now. That being said EPN has done a great job pivoting into those spaces! Almost at 100k subs on YouTube!
No shade to my bud Care Berr (sup dawg) he’s just reporting. Current economic factors aside, Telefilm can make as many of these reports as they want. This has and always will be the case and won’t change because in this industry we are America’s little bitch.
Distressing news via new @Telefilm_Canada report: Box office for Canadian films fell 40.9% in 2025 from year before, with homegrown movies capturing just 1.7% of Cdn market (down from 2.8% in 2024). 2025 was third lowest performing year of decade for Cdn film, following '20 & '22
This is coming from someone who worked in distribution explicitly acquiring Canadian produced films and trying to put them more places than Just Canada and than dealing lack of recognition of said product and certain taxes and tariffs
