Oakville Film Festival 7th Edition

From the moment you arrive, you will understand why this festival is so loved by filmmakers. In its 7th year, the social-issues-oriented Willson Oakville Film Festival gives local, Canadian and international filmmakers a chance to participate in a truly community-oriented festival.

We offer an intimate and effective networking event for filmmakers and an immersive experience for our audiences. We recognize filmmakers in all genres who tell great stories, celebrate diversity and explore social issues, while sparking meaningful discussion.

Our thought-provoking films about the human condition, speak to the diverse social issues that impact our community, from women’s issues and ageism, to addiction and mental illness, to issues affecting our youth such as bullying, or human trafficking. Our selections include Canadian and international feature films, documentaries, short films, and webisodes.

From our opening gala celebration to our director Q&A sessions, from filmmaker socials to our engaging workshops, you will soon discover why the Willson Oakville Film Festival has become an important stop on the festival circuit.

We have a strong history of attracting filmmakers from around the world, who attend the event to talk directly with audiences about their work, in a friendly, intimate and inspirational environment. Our Industry Days bring filmmakers together to learn, collaborate and socialize with like-minded individuals who share the same passion for films.

Supporting local filmmakers and giving them an opportunity to showcase their films in front of a supportive audience is very important to us. We also encourage indigenous, female and culturally diverse filmmakers to submit their films to this inclusive event.
