About ReelPolitik

 ReelPolitik: Understanding the World through Film

This unique festival features films that address issues of global concern. ReelPolitik showcases outstanding political films—both contemporary and historical--that deserve wide circulation, and genres include feature, documentary, animation, as well as experimental film.

Screenings are accompanied by in-depth introductions and panel discussions with scholars from the University of Toronto, and elsewhere. Topics range from the various international political contexts addressed by the films, to the nature of politically engaged film-making. ReelPolitik promotes public education on global issues.
