Telefilm Canada’s Made in Canada Spotlight campaign returns to the Apple TV app

Sophomore year includes restoration of Jean-Marc Vallée’s C.R.A.Z.Y., and a focus on Quebecois talent

The Made in Canada Spotlight campaign is back, following a successful launch in 2021. Formerly known as the Canadian Movie of the Week, the 12-week promotion highlights a recently released or classic Canadian film available to rent for only $0.99 on the Apple TV app. The series begins on April 5 with Sarah Polley’s Take This Waltz and concludes the week of June 21 with The Tragically Hip documentary Long Time Running.
