RCI Vision is a film and video directory made up of works produced by Radio Canada International as well as those created by Canadian and international amateur and professional filmmakers. Our mission is to present short films, essays, portraits and documentaries where cultures meet and ideas grow, bringing countries and people together, learning more about Canada and its diversity, discovering places and unusual facts. Watch and upload films on such subjects as democracy, citizen participation, freedom of speech, indentity, roots, the concept of nationality, immigration, culture, environmental protection, exclusion and national and international politics. You’ll be able to share links, create playlists, and a community around the films that move you. RCI Vision is a Radio Canada International initiative that showcases Canada and the world as you see it. Welcome. Close

Roots Challenge 2010

To stimulate citizen participation, Radio Canada International’s Special Projects Team launched in 2010, The Roots Challenge, a national short films and multimedia competition inviting Canadian filmmakers to submit 3-8 minute films. This competition aimed to show the contribution of all cultures to the Canadian mosaic. ‘Roots’ is a reflection of what makes Canada what it is today. Over 150 films were submitted of which close to 60 were chosen for the competition and submitted to the jury and to the public via the on-line competition. More than 5,000 people from 25 countries voted for the three Popular Vote Choice prizes. The Roots Challenge was awarded the Salut aux Talents trophy in the Public Valour category given out by Radio-Canada.
