The Canadian Film Fest is a non-profit organization whose mission is to celebrate the art of cinematic storytelling by exclusively showcasing Canadian films. The festival unites film-loving audiences with diverse selections of features and shorts from across the country. The CFF provides Canadian filmmakers with essential professional development and networking opportunities through its Industry Series and awards. And, of course, the awesome parties.
In 2023, the Canadian Film Fest will be a hybrid event with screenings at Scotiabank theatre in Toronto and on Super Channel across Canada.
All submitting filmmakers must have the rights and ability to broadcast their film both on Super Channel and theatrically, should your film be invited to screen at Canadian Film Fest. Films will be shown on Super Channel (behind a paid subscriber wall in Canada) only on the day of the theatrical screening.
The Canadian Film Fest is a qualifying festival for the Academy's Canadian Screen Awards.
