ABOUT common knowledge
Common Knowledge is a Vancouver-based production company specializing in genre films that explore philosophical themes around identity, society, and reality, often using metaphor to communicate ideas.
Recent film WITH LOVE AND A MAJOR ORGAN was released theatrically by Utopia-offshoot Circle Collective in the US and UK after a sustained festival run at over 30 restivals including SXSW, Fantasia, BIFan, and Beijing. It won Best Feature at Santa Fe FF, Canadian FF, and ReelWorld FF among other festival awards, and garnered five Leo Award nominations.
Common Knowledge is currently developing Kit & Arran’s sophomore film, the satirical horror HOW DARE YOU as well as a contemporary film adaptation of Madame Bovary, entitled PROVINCIAL WAYS.
The company was founded in 2019 by Madeleine Davis, an alumna of the IFFR Talent Lab and the University of Cambridge Masters in Creative Writing.
