CANADA ON SCREEN VIDEO GUIDES PROJECT | For Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017, Canada On Screen was the country’s most ambitious year-long film retrospective, presenting 150 essential works from Canada’s cinematic history through screenings, installations, and an online catalogue. The project was produced by the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in partnership with Library and Archives Canada, Cinémathèque québécoise, and The Cinematheque.
I was commissioned to create a four-part educational documentary series using archival footage to explore how Canada’s multicultural identity has been shaped through film and media. As lead creator, I researched and sourced the material, wrote the scripts, and edited thousands of clips into four guides totaling nearly an hour of content.
Since launching at The Cinematheque on National Canadian Film Day in 2018, the series has been used by filmmakers and educators, integrated into BC school curriculum, and supports workshops in filmmaking, film studies, and digital media literacy.
