ARTSPLACE is pleased to join the national celebration of Canadian cinema with a special double bill screening in honour of National Canadian Film Day (CanFilmDay).

Presented in partnership with REEL CANADA, this annual event is a coast-to-coast tribute to Canadian film and storytelling, inviting communities to come together to experience the richness and diversity of our national cinema. More than ever, Canadians need a moment to take a deep breath together. We need community.

The ARTSPLACE screening lineup for 2026 features two distinctive Canadian films:

- HAIDA MODERN, 2 pm | 1 h 25 min

- THE APPRENTICE, 4 pm | 2 h 2 min
Long before he set his sights on politics, Donald Trump (Stan) had a singular ambition—to expand his real estate empire and take over New York City. This drive, and his willingness to do anything to make it happen, makes him the perfect protégé for notorious attorney Roy Cohn. As their relationship develops through the 70s and 80s, Trump makes his fortune—but at what cost?

Screenings are upstairs at ARTSPLACE and open to the public. Join in and celebrate the stories that link us together.

National Canadian Film Day is made possible through our collaboration with REEL CANADA, a charitable organization dedicated to promoting Canadian film and its ability to inspire meaningful conversations about what it means to be Canadian.
