The Canadian cinema task force is a joint task force of WikiProject Films and WikiProject Canada for the purpose of gathering interested editors in the common purpose of improving Wikipedia coverage of the Canadian cinema and raising the quality of already-existing articles.
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.
To join the Canadian cinema task force, edit this section and add # ((User|yourusername)) and any comments to the following list of members in alphabetical order by username. Please add your username to Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Participants also.
Many events which are key to this project occur on a cyclical annual basis:
Early year: Canadian Screen Award nominations are typically released at some time within the first three months of the year; a precise date can usually be found at academy.ca. Also monitor the 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.
May: Monitor coverage of the Cannes Film Festival for Canadian films which may be screened there. Coverage of the Inside Out Film and Video Festival will also point to some Canadian LGBT films that could or should be covered in Wikipedia; first film announcements for the Fantasia Film Festival are also typically expected in May or June.
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.
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.
