Sonja Bennett’s independent feature film Preggoland will open on May 1st in Toronto, Montreal, and the star/screenwriter’s hometown, Vancouver, according to Vancity Buzz.

The City Dark, an award-winning 2012 documentary about our compulsion to keep the lights on 24-7 and its effects on us as we lose sight of the stars, will be shown in a private screening in Missisauga on April 23rd, Canadian Architect announces.

CBC Manitoba is presenting an online festival of “dynamic bite-sized made-in-Manitoba films” and they’re asking viewers to rate them and/or pick a favourite — and above all, share what you think!

Remember, National Canadian Film Day is coming up on the 29th! Host a screening if you’re feeling up to it, but if nothing else, watch a Canadian movie and share your thoughts on it with the rest of the country.
