FilmCAN's goal Is to be the premier online resource for the discussion and promotion of Canadian film culture. We aim to spotlight the best of Canadian and international cinema through critical analysis and by providing immediate, digital access to films and visual media. Our primary areas of focus are independent cinema and those artists attempting to push the boundaries of both the form and audience of Canadian film.
