Vancouver has a well established motion picture industry and is often
referred to as "Hollywood of the North". The relatively low price
of the Canadian dollar, a highly skilled labour force, a moderate
climate, a diverse topography and other factors have combined to make
Vancouver a mecca to movie makers. Among the many films and TV
shows that have
filmed in Vancouver include shows such as the X-files.
It is therefore not surprising that Vancouverites enjoy their motion
pictures, particularly on the giant screen. To find out what is
playing in town, visit the
