REEL CANADA was an official Canada 150 partner for Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017, and the 150 Films Spotlight was created to give Canadians an inclusive, entertaining and diverse list of films that represent a breadth of genres, interests and communities from coast to coast to coast. This isn’t a best-ever or an essential viewing list, but rather a selection of great films with something for everyone. Most importantly, we wanted the list to be accessible, so all the films on it were available for public screenings in 2017.
