Ottawa Canada-China Film Festival
Canada-China Friendship Society of Ottawa is proud to launch the 2nd Annual Ottawa Canada-China Film Festival.
In 2017 we started our annual event with 3 films at the Canadian Museum of Nature with plans to grow the annual Film Festival into a more significant event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Canada-China Diplomatic Relations in 2020.
The Ottawa Canada-China Film Festival is a volunteer-led celebration of Canada and China relations and is dedicated to helping Canadians become better informed about China–its past, its current achievements and challenges, and what the future may hold.

The Film Selection Committee identified over 50 potential award winning films, contacted distributors and reviewed screeners.
Our goal was to find the “best of” international or Chinese films. We were also looking for an element of Canada.
We boiled down the list to 14 and presented summaries to our advisors. We then selected 4 films.
Each film is well made, received international awards, includes an element of Canada and reveals an aspect of China that lets Canadians discover China one film at a time.
