Free Political Film Screenings Cinema Politica is a project organized by Montréal-based non-profit überculture, and comprises a network of several local film exhibition series across Canada, Europe and the USA.

Concordia Cinema Politica

About Cinema Politica Concordia

The biggest series in the Cinema Politica project is located at Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, where audiences regularly range from 300 to 600 at our weekly screenings. In the student life section of the 2004 special university issue of Macleans magazine, Cinema Politica Concordia was listed as one of the three main reasons for students to attend the University.

Concordia is one of Canada's most politically active campuses, and Cinema Politica collaborates with other politically progressive groups to organize our 20+ screenings each year. Screenings take place at 1455 de Maisonneuve W. in Room H-110 on Mondays @ 7:30 pm with few exceptions.

In 2005 Concordia Undergraduates voted in a referendum, and the results were overwhelmingly in favour of a 2 cents per credit fee levy, in order to provide Cinema Politica Concordia with a stable budget.

Cinema Politica Concordia is administered by the Concordia Cinema Politica Student Association (CCPSA). The CCPSA is made up of a Board of Directors and volunteer coordinators. They are:
