Distribution:
FilmCAN has teamed with www.zunior.com to provide digital downloadable media in a variety of lengths and formats.
As of July 2006 we are offering all files in mpeg4 (h.264) format, which is the highest quality iPOD compatible format, and is also great for most laptops and computer screens, as well as cell phones. It's not really designed for big-screen TV viewing; check back in August/06, as DVD-equivalent quality is in the pipeline.
For a look at mpeg4 (h.264) in action, download our FREE
VIDEO PODCAST, a collection of short films, videos, and interviews.
FilmCAN movies and podcasts are best viewed using iTunes and with QuickTime
7, and you may have to install both programs to play our files. Check out our DOWNLOAD

Trains of Winnipeg
Clive Holden's collection of 14 film poems is an epic ride through a uniquely early 21st century landscape. Featuring music by Christine Fellows and Jason Tait and John K. Sampson (The Weakerthans), Trains of Winnipeg presents suburban and urban dystopias, explores the politics of form and the form of personal politics, and celebrates the raw joy of moving pictures, sound, colour and light.

Dream Tower / Echoes Without Saying
A feature length bundle of two of director Ron Mann's counter cultural studies. Dream Tower is an incisive look into Toronto’s notorious Rochdale College, an eighteen storey high rise completed in 1968, and intended as a free college; instead Rochdale quickly turned into an experimental living environment peopled by artists, draft dodgers and hippies. Echoes Without Saying (28mins) looks at CoachHouse Press, an innovative Toronto-based publishing and printing house.
