Hello!

The Free Thinking Film Society was established in 2007 in Ottawa to provide an outlet for filmmakers and moviegoers alike who are looking for an alternative to the ‘alternative’. In other words, we celebrate the efforts of risk-taking documentarians whose work espouses the values of limited, democratic government, free market economies, equality of opportunity rather than equality of result, and the dignity of the individual, all underscored by a healthy and patriotic respect for Western culture and traditions. Although there are a lot of courageous voices in the non-fiction film industry producing thoughtful pieces of art which reject cultural relativism, central economic planning and American culpability for all that ills the world, you wouldn’t know it by looking at the listings for most art house cinemas.

We’re dedicated to changing that by bringing these exciting and challenging documentaries to Canada’s capital.

Please join us for a very special evening when we present the film, Crossing.

 ’A “Schindler’s List” for North Korea’

Taken from a number of true stories of North Korean refugees, Crossing is the first film to accurately depict the trials and hardships faced everyday by the North Korean people.
