Welcome to the 2021 CINEMANIA Francophone Film Festival!

Once again this fall, CINEMANIA is shining a spotlight on the talent of the Francophonie in Canada and around the world. In these evolving and uncertain times, the arts help us see the world around us through a different lens. This hybrid festival—featuring both in-person and virtual events—offers a diverse and well-rounded program for film lovers and those interested in the French-speaking world. It is sure to thrill us, make us think and highlight the bonds that unite us.

As Minister of Canadian Heritage, I encourage you to enjoy this celebration of cinema, which adds so much to the cultural vitality of Montréal. I thank everyone who helped make this year’s activities possible.

Enjoy the festival!



The Honourable PABLO RODRIGUEZ
Minister of Canadian Heritage
