Our team is a little swamped right now preparing for the 10th anniversary of National Canadian Film Day – the world's largest film festival – happening on April 19.

If you're interested in celebrating with us, please check out our CanFilmDay special programming, and use our CanFilmDay order form instead. Offerings include: 

  • An anti-racism livestream for English-language high schools
  • A short film programme focused on Indigenous-made films  
  • Curated short film programmes of classic and contemporary animations 
  • Earth Day programming 
  • French-language offerings 
  • 10 feature films for every age group, to celebrate our 10th anniversary! 

In the meantime, our normal educational Lending Library will be on hiatus until the end of April – but you can still use this form to order films for May and June.

IMPORTANT

Screening Sensitive Material

Indian Horse introduces the discussion of Canadian Residential Schools, which in part includes harms against children, sexual abuse of children, secrets, and shame.  While this is done gently and not in a graphic way, the material may be upsetting for some students.  We ask that you ensure the availability of whatever counselling services your school normally provides when this kind of sensitive material is being dealt with.  (Page 3 of the content advisory provides information about some public resources that may be helpful). 

Given this sensitive subject matter, Indian Horse is not suitable for students to view independently if they are learning from home. Because the content of the film could be triggering for some students, they need to be fully supported by counsellors and other caring adults before, during and after the screening.  

Since viewing the film may lead to disclosures by children or youth in your classroom or group, it may be prudent to familiarize yourself with the mandatory and legal steps within your province, organization or school regarding your duty to report.

We also ask that specific consideration be given to your Indigenous students – many of whom may be intergenerational survivors of the Residential School system – for whom this material may be particularly upsetting. It is important to ensure that their viewing experience is a safe one.  Again, this should involve whatever supports your school has in place for such instances, whether it be counsellors who specialize in Indigenous cultural sensitivities, or the option for Indigenous students to opt out of the screening, or other measures.

Before proceeding, please read through the detailed content advisory for this film. 

Finally, please note that while Indian Horse is respectfully adapted from a celebrated novel by an Indigenous author, the film is not considered “Indigenous-made”.  (A selection of Indigenous-made films can be found at reelcanada.ca/indigenous-made-films/)



The Grizzlies deals with suicide openly. While this is done gently and not in a graphic way, the material may be upsetting for some students.  We ask that you ensure the availability of whatever counselling services your school normally provides when this kind of sensitive material is being dealt with.  (Pages 3 and 4 of the content advisory provide information about some public resources that may be helpful).

Given this sensitive subject matter, The Grizzlies is not suitable for students to view independently if they are learning from home. Because the content of the film could be triggering for some students, they need to be fully supported by counsellors and other caring adults before, during and after the screening.  

Since viewing the film may lead to disclosures by children or youth in your classroom or group, it may be prudent to familiarize yourself with the mandatory and legal steps within your province, organization or school regarding your duty to report.

We also ask that specific consideration be given to your Indigenous students – many of whom may be affected by intergenerational trauma – for whom this material may be particularly upsetting. It is important to ensure that their viewing experience is a safe one.  Again, this should involve whatever supports your school has in place for such instances, whether it be counsellors who specialize in Indigenous cultural sensitivities, or the option for Indigenous students to opt out of the screening, or other measures.

Before proceeding, please read through the detailed content advisory for this film. 


Demographic Information



It's a condition of our funding from the federal government that we ask the following demographic questions, in order to ensure we're reaching diverse audiences. This information allows us to continue offering our programme completely free of charge! Please rest assured that the demographic information will only be reported in aggregate, along with percentage data from the hundreds of schools we serve each year. 

If you don't know exact percentages, that's absolutely fine – rough estimates are perfectly acceptable. 

If you're strongly opposed to answering any of the demographic questions, please email contactus@reelcanada.ca, so we can submit your registration manually. Before exiting, please make sure to click "Save my progress and resume later" above, and follow through with the questions needed to save the form.  .
