IMAX films are some of the best documentary movies ever produced, narrowing the odds on extraterrestrial life, challenging our notions of human endurance and bending our perceptions of reality. Now High Fidelity HDTV will air these 'Giant Screen Movies' October through December, every Friday night on 'Rush HD', 'Equator HD', 'Oasis HD' and 'Treasure HD'.

“Nowhere else in Canada can you see these films in high definition,” said High Fidelity HDTV COO John Panikkar.
“These Giant Screen gems represent a pioneering shift of a macro experience...”
