Welcome back to our coverage of Canadian films on the CBC. We've seen a few new films this summer, even to us, though they are Canadian films in name only.
The long weekend starts today and you can catch up on some cool Canadian films.
The early September film lineups are sufficiently eclectic.
CBC shows Canadian films on Saturday night before Hockey Night in Canada returns to the public broadcaster in October.
This summer, the CBC presentations are starting at 9 pm local time (9:30 pm in Newfoundland).
Sometimes, we only get 4 films in 2 weeks, though these 2 weeks have 6 total Canadian films.
This is a nice service from the public broadcaster.
Here is the CBC Canadian films schedule for early September 2023.
September 2
9p Tammy's Always Dying (2019)
11p Mean Dreams (2016)
1a Man Running (2018)
September 9
9p Percy (2020)
11:30p Angelique's Isle (2018)

A recap of CBC Saturday night Canadian films in the 2022 offseason
Canadian film review: Tammy’s Always Dying
Canadian film review: Mean Dreams
Canadian film review: Percy
If you only see 1 of the 6 Canadian films in the next 2 weeks, Mean Dreams is at the top of this list and most lists. An intense and scary film at times. Most chase films can't live up to this chase. American actor Bill Paxton, in one of his last roles, will scare you.
Tammy's Always Dying and Percy have good stories that needed help in how they were told. If you are flipping a coin between the 2 films, pick Tammy's Always Dying and research the real-life story of Percy.
We are at a disadvantage about the other 3 Canadian films. Man Running is from Gary Burns (waydowntown), whom we trust. Gord Rand plays a doctor who competes in an ultramarathon. Angelique's Isle is a Canadian historical drama film based on a true story about a voyageur couple who are forced to survive a harsh winter on an island in the middle of Lake Superior. Into Invisible Light is a romantic comedy with Jennifer Dale and Peter Keleghan that is an homage to Uncle Vanya.

Yes, we praise a lot of Canadian films. Watching films with commercials isn't fun. These intriguing Canadian films address issues where Canadians should be familiar, even if they aren't in their regular wheelhouse.
Saturday nights during the hockey season means the NHL on CBC. Otherwise, CBC has Canadian films in store.
Canadians can choose to watch these Canadian films on CBC Gem. For a monthly fee, you can watch them without commercials.
