2024 lineup announced

CANADIAN FILM FEST REVEALS SPECTACULAR 2024 LINEUP CELEBRATING HOMEGROWN STORIES AND CINEMATIC TALENT

For almost two decades, Canadian Film Fest has fostered the indie filmmaking community of The North.

With an unrelenting dedication to Canadian voices, we exclusively showcase work from our nation's filmmakers - homegrown established talent and newcomers alike - whether they're telling stories that take place within our borders or around the world. Add to that a series of industry events with learning and networking opportunities and everyone gathers at the festival once a year to celebrate Canadian film. There's no shortage of filmmaking talent in Canada and we've made it our mission to prove that.
