1st Montreal Critics’ Week
From January 13 to 19 2025
Founded by Panorama-cinéma
Land Acknowledgement
We recognize the ancestral presence of the Kanien’kehá:ka nation, “People of Flint”, as the past, present, and future custodians of the lands and waters on which we stand.
This territory and gathering place, commonly referred to today as Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, has been home to many indigenous peoples, including the Anishinaabeg, W8banakiak and Wendat, who have lived here at different times in history, sharing and transmitting artistic practices and cultural knowledge.
In this, the festival recognizes that it is taking place on unceded territory, and that it has a duty to work to develop the sensibilities and responsibilities of our organization and the public through a curating of films and discussions committed to a common future of friendship, peace and decolonization.

About us
An initiative of Panorama-cinéma, the 1st annual Montreal Critics’ Week extends the online magazine’s critical lens offline by fostering a space for discourse and discovery in cinema. The festival showcases new and distinct works paired, juxtaposed, or contrasted to encourage inquisitive spectatorship that considers the thematic, political and formal ramifications of the chosen works.
