Montreal Independent Film Festival

Montreal Independent Film Festival is an annual and a monthly IMDb qualifying festival dedicated to international and Canadian shorts and features of all genres.

The annual festival screens films for two weeks and awards filmmakers and artists with cash prizes, promotions and bonuses.

The monthly festival is an ongoing virtual festival and the best of the month are screened in our studio theater in Montreal and can also request for a public online screening, laurels and certificates as well. All the winners and the nominees can also be credited on IMDb. 

All the official selections of the monthly festival can also request for promotion and screening of films through our festival and can be further nominated for our annual festival which is scheduled for late March, 2021. The annual 2021 event will be a mixture of online screenings for 10 days, award announcements from cinema and live screenings from our studio. Our annual festival will be a Hybrid In-Theatre/Virtual Fest for 2021 due to the pandemic.

The festival has promoted and screened hundreds of international films in the past few editions through Toronto Film Channel and it has promoted and featured hundreds of independent films and indie artists in various film magazines such as Film Daily and Toronto Film Magazine.

Many Canadian and international features and shorts were discovered by various distributors and agents who reviewed our best of the monthly and annual selection and award winners.   

Montreal Independent Film Festival truly cares about the language of cinema, independent filmmaking, filmmakers, arts and all the artists involved in each film project.

Our programmers and the members of our jury are professionals working in media from Canada and all over the world as filmmakers, writers, critics, actors and distributors.  

We are an organization committed to selecting, awarding, promoting, featuring and screening international and Canadian films.
