The oldest documentary film festival in Canada, Edmonton's Global Visions Film Festival is an annual event that presents premiere screenings of informative and inspirational non-fiction films that address the changing realities within the global community. The festival promotes documentary film as a motivating art form, a community awareness tool, and as an alternative media platform for Canadians. The festival also hosts an international marketplace, and a wide array of artist talks and forums for discussion. Global Visions annually screens over 75 local and international documentaries during the festival, its monthly What's Up Doc Series at Metro Cinema, and at special events throughout the year.
