The ICFF began as a not-for-profit film festival, and has developed into a multidisciplinary organization that embraces all facets of the arts. Incepted in 2012, ICFF has grown to represent over 13 different local communities and attracts 51,000+ attendees. Through its beloved one-of-a-kind events that span from design to music, and from art to cinema, ICFF promotes Toronto as dynamic cultural and artistic destination. Throughout the year, ICFF organizes special initiatives exploring different aspects of world culture, while catering to the needs of diverse and multi-generational audiences and upholding Canada’s growing cultural and artistic sectors.
Each year, the ICFF is also proud to present an inspiring lineup of films - the best from newly released Italian cinema. Using the power of the moving image to both entertain and educate, ICFF has become a driving force in the film industry, and has lead to the creation of numerous successful co-productions, as it continually strives to bridge the path between Europe and North America.
