Welcome to the Canadian cinema task force of WikiProject Films!

The Canadian cinema task force is a joint task force of

Canadian cinema may include not only domestic films, but also films made by Canadian filmmakers outside of the region, films produced or co-produced by Canadian companies, and foreign films shooting within Canada. However per Wikipedia:WikiProject Film#Scope, this task force should not include articles about actors, directors and filmmakers. Those articles are covered by adding parameters for the Actors and Filmmakers and Screenwriters projects accordingly.

Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding both parameters to the project banners at the top of its talk page:

• |Canadian-task-force=yes (or "Canadian=yes") to {{WikiProject Film}}
• |cinema=yes to {{WikiProject Canada}}.

This will automatically place it into Category:Canadian cinema task force articles.

Many events which are key to this project occur on a cyclical annual basis:

• Early year:
  Academy Award
  nominations in case one or more Canadian films garner nominations.
• February: CSA winners in a few of the special non-juried categories (Golden Screen, Special Achievement, etc.) will be announced at this time.
• March: CSA winners are announced.
• April: Prix Iris nominations usually announced around this time. Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.
• May: Monitor coverage of the
  Fantasia Film Festival
  are also typically expected in May or June.
• August: The main Canadian film festival circuit swings into gear. Start watching for programming announcements from the
  Cinéfest and other film festivals in Canada
  . Many films will overlap across more than one such festival, although some will not.
• Fall: Watch for the announcement of
  Canada's submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film
  . This usually takes place in September, but has sometimes been announced as early as August.
• September: Most of the major film festivals will be held. Watch for coverage of their final award announcements.
• October: Most of the remaining major film festivals will be held; watch again for coverage of their final award announcements.
• December: Awards and honours announced include the Vancouver and Toronto Film Critics Association awards, TIFF's Canada's Top Ten (and/or their once-a-decade Top 10 Canadian Films of All Time poll), and the Borsos Competition at the Whistler Film Festival.

• Tag articles.
• Recruit interested editors.
• Collect categories, resource links, and templates.
• Expand the open task listing above.
• Improve referencing when you find a Canadian film article that is poorly referenced.
• Check
  Canadian Screen Award and Prix Iris
  category articles for films and/or people whose articles are still red links.
• Lists in Category:Lists of Canadian films by year are incomplete; often they're missing many films that do already have Wikipedia articles to link to, and even films that are listed haven't always had all the relevant details filled in on the table. They also need to have references added; as older wikipractices did not require lists to be referenced, while contemporary wikipractices do, lists from 2017 and earlier either do not have references at all, or have had a few references selectively added here and there but have not been comprehensively referenced across the board.
• Address outstanding redlinks in Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/List of films without article/List of missing Canadian films.
• Cinémas Guzzo is a stub article that has been subject to graffiti recently. Some info has been rolled back, but key people in sidebar keeps getting vandalized and needs fixing (again)
• Locate programs or schedules for the Vancouver International Film Festival. By-year articles exist since 2014 as full programs have been posted to Issuu for those years, but have not been completed for 2013 or earlier. Lists are available on Letterboxd, but are not sorted by program and cannot be guaranteed as complete.
• Older articles in the Toronto International Film Festival series are also often not complete listings of all films; find older programs if possible to complete them.
• Similar articles may be appropriate for other major Canadian film festivals as well (e.g. Hot Docs, Fantasia, Calgary, FNC, Cinéfest, Inside Out, etc.) if programs can be located to provide complete listings.
• Gemini Award
  articles remain in need of formatting and referencing improvement.
