Cinema Politica is a non-profit media arts organization dedicated to supporting the work of independent, political filmmakers in Canada and beyond. Our organization is made up of an alternative exhibition network, dedicated distribution arm, and a Video On Demand platform for cutting edge, socially engaged cinema.
Cinema Politica’s main office is located on the unceded lands of Kanien’kehá:ka Nation in Tiohtiá:ke, or Montreal. The CP team believes it is not enough to acknowledge the title-holders of the lands, rather we urge everyone who attends our screenings and streams our films to become involved in anti-colonial and Indigenous-led struggles and resistance everywhere.
Cinema Politica is funded through arts council grants, membership fees, distribution revenues and audience donations. We have been free of corporate sponsorship since our inception in 2003.
