The Reel Shorts Virtual Cinema opened on Friday, May 1st with the first two feature-length documentaries. Each Friday two new documentaries are added.
We have teamed up with Toronto distributor Blue Ice Docs to offer curated online streaming of great feature-length documentaries which are not available to watch on any other streaming platform in Canada. Half of the net proceeds from the on-demand streaming fee of $9.99/film supports the Reel Shorts Film Festival which would have opened on Tuesday, May 5th, but was postponed until April 26 to May 3, 2021 because of COVID-19.
If you enjoy the film, SHARE this page with friends and family. The films can be viewed anywhere in Canada and can be given as a gift.
