British Columbia in Television & Film -- British Columbia is one of the centers of film in Canada, and many Canadian features are set in Vancouver. Numerous Hollywood films have also been shot in the province: Legends of the Fall, Little Women, Jumanji, and Rambo: First Blood give an idea of the range of films done here. Television's groundbreaking series The X-Files was shot in and around the city for its first 4 years of production (Vancouver doubles as many American cities, notably Washington, D.C.).
