Digital Diversity at the Pacific Cinematheque | Nov 15 | Vancouver

Radio Canada International's shortwave radio service began as a propaganda tool, I'm sorry, information service, for the Canadian Government following the Second World War. Since 1945, RCI has broadcast Canadian programming across the world, penetrating the ether of assorted Cold War blocs in the process. And while it continues to broadcast internationally, in recent years the service has aimed to serve new Canadians.

On November 15th at Vancouver's Pacific Cinematheque, the nominated films from Radio Canada International's Digital Diversity Competition will be on view. The competition, which began in the Spring, invited Canadians between the ages of 18 and 35 to submit short films or podcasts on the theme of immigration and cultural diversity. Thursday's program will be hosted by CBC British Columbia radio personality Margaret Gallagher and will feature a selection of B.C. shorts chosen from over 200 submissions.

You can get more information on how to view and vote for the winning film and podcast at RCI's website | Pacific Cinematheque - 1131 Howe Street, Vancouver, B.C.
