Unsettling 150: Actes de résistance program

Two Canadian-based film organizations—VTape and Cinema Politica—are joining together to offer a program of films and video that challenge, disrupt and unsettle dominant narratives that have storied Canada on the occasion of the state’s sesquicentennial celebrations. The films are available for free streaming across the country for the duration of the « Canada Day » weekend (June 30-July 2).
