Moving Images: Distributing Diverse Canadian Film & Media Art

Moving Images Distribution is a dynamic Vancouver-based not-for-profit that champions independent, creator-driven films from across Canada, especially those by diverse and under-represented voices.

Since its roots in the 1970s, Moving Images has grown into a vital hub for unique film titles, spanning powerful documentaries, experimental art, animation, and compelling narratives. Whether you're exploring Canadian history, delving into Indigenous stories, or examining pressing social issues, our catalogue offers a vibrant mosaic of cinematic experiences.

We are dedicated to connecting these essential works with audiences, making them available for licensing to educational institutions, public screenings, research, and personal viewing across the country. Moving Images believes in the power of film to spark critical thinking, foster meaningful dialogue, and deepen our appreciation for media arts.
