Launched in 2014, CanFilmDay has brought together hundreds of thousands of Canadians, to celebrate our stories and the incredible achievements of our filmmakers.
Join us for a showing of Black Cop:

The film won 10 awards at film festivals around the world, and the John Dunning Discovery Award at the CSAs.
