TORONTO and MONTREAL — Telefilm Canada announced today the launch of a new website, in partnership with Seattle-based Telescope, to promote the discoverability of Canadian film and TV content to audiences across the United States.
Through the website — www.canadanow.us — audiences can easily find where to watch their favourite Canadian films and some TV series as well as explore new content. The site also connects users to virtual cinema and in-theatre experiences. At the core of the new initiative is the Canada Now microsite, developed in collaboration with Telescope, which features almost 5,000 available Canadian productions across more than 150 video-on-demand platforms.
Canada Now is an initiative supported by Telefilm Canada, the National Film Board of Canada and the Consulate General of Canada in New York.
The new website will feature monthly curation spotlighting six different programming sections in addition to the searchable database of productions accessible within the U.S. Every month, the site will feature a section on New Arrivals, Classic Films and a spotlight called Indigenous Voices.
For the month of April, in addition to the sections mentioned above, the site will feature a section on Canadian Oscar-nominated films called Oscar Loves Canada, a spotlight on International Jazz Day, as well as a section called National Film Board Gems composed of five films selected by the NFB. These additional curated sections will change every month to offer new content.
