For two decades, Canadian Film Fest has fostered the indie filmmaking community of The North.

With an unrelenting dedication to Canadian voices, we are Toronto’s largest film festival exclusively showcasing the work of our nation’s diverse filmmakers - both established and emerging - whether their stories unfold at home or around the world.

Beyond the screen, we host a slate of industry events that foster professional development and meaningful networking. Each year, we come together to celebrate, support, and champion homegrown talent. Canada has no shortage of exceptional filmmakers - and proving it is our mission.
