A podcast by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television, powered by Telefilm Canada, Cinema Reignited explores the history of Canadian cinema through a modern-day lens. In each episode, host Samah Ali reviews a different Canadian film that’s been digitized as part of the Canadian Cinema - Reignited initiative. Exploring Canadian stories through a diverse range of voices, the initiative is about preserving our film heritage and helping the next generation of cinemagoers learn about the shaping of the Canadian film landscape. Just as timely today as they were when they were made, each of the films provides unique insights into the shaping of our country’s identity and culture. Cinema Reignited, the podcast, will take you on a journey through the time period during which each film was made, the historical and social context at the time, and how the film relates to broader themes in society.

One for the Archives - Caring for Canada's Film Heritage

The images contained in decaying film stock tell incredible Canadian stories and they’re at risk of extinction. Teams of dedicated preservationists and archivists at organizations like the Toronto International Film Festival and the Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre are bringing new life to endangered films. In this episode of Cinema Reignited, we will be speaking with Natania Sherman, Collections and Services Manager, Film Reference Library at the Toronto International Film Festival and Jesse Brossoit, Distribution & Collections Manager, Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre to discuss the current state of our endangered cinematic heritage. We’ll learn about the preservation process, how films are being digitized for new audiences and why it is so important to preserve films of all types from Canada’s past.
