Film Circuit is TIFF's national outreach. We bring Canadian cinema
and independent films to underserved communities across Canada.
Our film series is The Reel Thing.
R E E L. We're a very multicultural community and I have found that
these films have actually bridged and connected that community very much.
We operate in every community from coast to coast so we really are
extending the theatrical release of Canadian films and we take Canadian
filmmaking guests out on the road with us.
We have had a number of guest speakers that have been arranged through film
circuit. It's a lot of fun. People love it!
Reel Comfort is a film screening and workshop program that we do in patient
psychiatric units at both Toronto General Hospital and St. Michaels
Hospital. The results we've seen coming out of it have been
pretty significant. We often get feedback you know in our workshop
was the first time they'd actually heard a patient speak.
If we can go right into their space, set up the film screening and bring
in the person who made the film, then it becomes much more tangible
and much more real.
