Cityscape is a 2019 Canadian experimental short documentary film, directed by Michael Snow.[1] Described by critics as an "elaboration" on the methods of his 1971 film La Région Centrale,[2] the film depicts the cityscape of downtown Toronto through a rotating camera on the Toronto Islands.[1]

The film was commissioned by IMAX, alongside films by Oliver Husain, Lisa Jackson, Kelly Richardson and Leila Sujir, as part of Outer Worlds, a program of short IMAX films that toured Canada in 2019 to mark the 50th anniversary of the company.[1] The project premiered at the 2019 Images Festival, before touring to Canada's other IMAX theatres in Victoria, Sudbury, Edmonton and Montreal.[1]

In December 2019, the film was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list for short films.[3]
