On National Canadian Film Day, a series of special events will be held to pay tribute to the life and accomplishments of Graham Greene, a revered Six Nations actor who passed away last year at the age of 73. This day, co-sponsored by CBC, is a nationwide celebration of Canadian cinema, featuring screenings of Canadian films in communities across the country.
As part of this year’s commemorative activities, film screenings will take place to honor Greene’s contributions, including a presentation of his film “Clearcut” (1991) at the Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford, Ontario. The screening, scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on April 15, will be open to the public, with Greene’s family and the Six Nations community in attendance. Additionally, the event will showcase the short documentary “Graham Greene: I’m Just Me” by Tara Johns.
Screenings of “Clearcut” and Greene’s acclaimed film “Seeds” will also be held in Toronto, Ottawa, and Halifax. Throughout his nearly five-decade career, Greene portrayed numerous characters on stage and screen, appearing in various major motion pictures and television productions.
Acknowledged with the Order of Canada and an Academy Award nomination for his role in “Dances with Wolves,” Greene received the Earle Grey lifetime achievement award in 2004 and the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement in 2025. His legacy continues to be celebrated and honored by audiences across the country.
