Welcome to the Canadian cinema task force of WikiProject Films!
The Canadian cinema task force is a joint task force of WikiProject Films and WikiProject Canada for the purpose of gathering interested editors in the common purpose of improving Wikipedia coverage of the Canadian cinema and raising the quality of already-existing articles.
Canadian cinema may include not only domestic films, but also films made by Canadian filmmakers outside of the region, films produced or co-produced by Canadian companies, and foreign films shooting within Canada. However per Wikipedia:WikiProject Film#Scope, this task force should not include articles about actors, directors and filmmakers. Those articles are covered by adding parameters for the Actors and Filmmakers and Screenwriters projects accordingly.
To join the Canadian cinema task force, edit this section and add # {{User|yourusername}} and any comments to the following list of members in alphabetical order by username. Please add your username to Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Participants also.
You may place {{User Canadian cinema task force}} on your user page to display the following userbox:

Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding both parameters to the project banners at the top of its talk page:
|Canadian-task-force=yes (or "Canadian=yes") to {{WikiProject Film}}|cinema=yes to {{WikiProject Canada}}.This will automatically place it into Category:Canadian cinema task force articles.
Many events which are key to this project occur on a cyclical annual basis:
Prior to 2020, TIFF was the only Canadian film festival for which anybody had actually compiled full by-year articles for each individual year's edition of the festival — but with that year having left a lot of extra time on everybody's hands, it began to be expanded to a number of other festivals as well. However, TIFF remains the only Canadian film festival for which articles exist for every year all the way back to the beginning.
Festivals which have at least one by-year article in place are:
No other festival currently has such articles, but some (especially Hot Docs, Inside Out and Montreal World) might be viable if full program information can be found.
Please use the following format when adding works:
* <!-- bibliographical information -->
** Content:
*** <!-- optional content summary -->
** Reviews:
*** <!-- commentary on work by historians & other reputable sources -->
** Editor comments:
*** <!-- personal commentary by editors -->
