With thanks to our partners who took a stand for a liveable climate.
We hope that you were one of the many people who enjoyed ReSurge: Canadian Film Festivals for a Liveable Climate which is now officially a wrap!
We are having a Happy 10th Anniversary.
Over the month of November we held a 6-day, live streamed, virtual festival in addition to an on demand platform of films, all with a focus on water and climate protection. Together we watched some of the most moving and impactful environmental documentaries from around the world - many of which had their Canadian premieres with us! We showcased over 40 documentary films with filmmaker interviews, panel discussions, and award presentations. We hope you were inspired.
We’d like to thank our host, Rick Miller, our media partners, presenting partners and co-presenters. It is with their support that ReSurge: Canadian Film Festivals for a Liveable Climate was introduced to Canada and abroad. We encourage you to visit each of our partners. You’ll find their links here.

“Climate change is real. It is happening right now, it is the most urgent threat facing our entire species and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.”
As World Ocean Day approaches (Sunday, June 8, 2025), Canadians have a unique opportunity to reflect on the incredible role oceans play in our daily lives and the health of the planet. For Canada, whose geography is defined by its extensive marine borders, this day holds exceptional significance. Bordered by the Pacific, Arctic, and Atlantic Oceans, and with over 243,000 kilometres of coastline, the longest of any country, Canada's environment, economy, and cultural identity are deeply entwined with the health of its marine ecosystems.
