Cinema Politica is a non-profit media arts organization that has been screening truth to power since 2003. Based in Montreal, Canada, our organization is dedicated to supporting independent, political filmmakers in Canada and beyond. We have a vast alternative exhibition network, a dedicated distribution arm, and a Video On Demand platform for socially engaged cinema.

We have successfully exhibited more than 1000 films at over 4000 screening events, showcasing diverse artists, community engagement, critical discussion, and audience activation. Our distribution efforts aim to diversify the cinema landscape by showcasing diverse voices and perspectives. While our strength is non-theatrical and educational distribution, we also work in the festival, theatrical, TV, and On Demand markets.

Cinema Politica On Demand offers paradigm-shifting, radically-voiced cinema streaming services at affordable rates with hundreds of titles available. We support independent filmmakers and the work of our organization. Our main objective is to curate, circulate, exhibit, and promote political cinema by independent artists, with an emphasis on independent Canadian works. We champion innovative, provocative films that engage audiences on socio-political, cultural, environmental, and economic justice issues.
