Winter’s hottest blogathon is almost here! The O Canada Blogathon (March 6-8) celebrates Canada’s remarkable contributions to film.

It’s not too late to join in the fun! Click HERE for blogathon details and topic suggestions. Although we’re not posting a schedule, we will post a recap each evening. So join us any day you like!

Just a reminder about our “rules”:

  • No duplicates, please, so we can cover as many eras and products of this vast land as possible.
  • We encourage classic movies, but we certainly won’t exclude modern choices.

Your co-hosts are:

Kristina of Speakeasy

Ruth of Silver Screenings

We look forward to celebrating films made in, by or about the Great White North!

Posted in Excitement

Happily blogging about old movies and using the royal "We".

    I hope everyone has fun.
    At the risk of being thought pedantic, have you made a mistake with the dates in your opening sentence?

    Hello! I wrote an editorial about Hallmark’s partnership with Canada when it comes to creating their movies and television shows. I just published it, so here’s the link if you want to check it out!

      Thanks, Virginie! I’m really looking forward to your review. This is a film I haven’t seen, although I’ve heard lots about it.
