Cinema Politica (CP) is a non-profit media arts organization based in Montreal with nearly 100 screening locations all over the world (as of September 2011). Each chapter ("local") screens independent political documentaries for free or by donation to audiences, with guest filmmakers and speakers often invited to participate. CP claims to be the "largest volunteer-run, community and campus-based documentary-screening network in the world."[1]
Cinema Politica started in Montreal at Concordia University in 2003 as an incorporated non-profit network and organization with several chapters throughout Canada and abroad.[2] Cinema Politica is funded through arts council grants, membership fees, distribution revenues and audience donations.
Most CP locals are based on campuses in Canada and Europe, but the organization has locations off-campus (community locals) and in other parts of the world including Latin America and Africa.[3]
