Crank International Action Film Festival

Welcome to Crank International Action Film Festival!
CrankIAFF is Canada’s first and only action film festival, celebrating the excitement and energy of action movies. We believe action films aren’t just about explosions and stunts they’re powerful stories about good versus evil, heroism, and sacrifice.

Our festival is all about honoring the hard work that goes into making these films, especially the stunt performers who risk their lives to create thrilling moments on screen. Whether you’ve loved action movies your whole life or are just getting into them, CrankIAFF is the perfect place to dive into the action.
