CBC takes our advice in running Canadian films, but on Saturday nights during the summer. To sweeten the telecast, CBC will run The Filmmakers leading up to the Canadian films.
The companion show run 30 minutes prior to the film that night and offers candid conversations with the people who made the film shown that night.
Johanna Schneller will be the host. Guest panelists include Connor Jessup, David Suzuki, Stephanie Morgenstern, Cameron Bailey, Sook-Yin Lee, Edward Burtynsky, Cazhhmere, and Sylvain Bellemare.

CanadianCrossing.com film coverage
I have seen the first 9 films on the schedule. I assume that Water is running at a later time given the subject matter. I know of the last 2 films. If I had a CBC feed, I would tape and watch.
Sandra Oh fans will be happy with 2 of her first films in Last Night and Double Happiness. You will see why Oh later became a star.
Sarah Polley is in The Sweet Hereafter, Last Night, and Stories We Tell. Polley wrote and directed Stories We Tell. Callum Keith Rennie is in Last Night and Double Happiness along with Oh.
