Cinema Politica

The CP Concordia Crew with Ezra, Svetla and The Yes Men

Cinema Politica is the largest community and campus-based documentary screening network in the world. I began a smaller version of CP with a few helpful librarians at Langara College in 2001, then re-launched the project at Concordia University in 2003. Cinema Politica is now a non-profit media arts organization that receives funding from the Canada Council for the Arts and has 50 active locals (chapters) in Canada and another 15 international sites. Svetla Turnin is CP’s Executive Director and Ezra is the Director of Programming. Our mandate is to support and promote independent political cinema—mainly documentary—and through free and by-donation community and campus screenings, to connect audiences to the art and artists of documentary.
