March 11-22, 2026

This year’s Festival will offer cinephiles an eclectic mix of films that have won awards and made waves on the international film circuit over the past year. In IFFO’s Official Selection, programmers are working on an exciting collection of Canadian and international feature films, along with a new Canadian short film to accompany each feature screening.

Other film programs in the Festival include Canadian Masters, getting in-depth discussions with some of Canada’s greatest and most prolific filmmakers, and IFFO series The Gaze, which brings the audience into the discussion about diverse representation on screen. IFFO’s industry conferences address emerging and mid-level film professionals at Screen Summit and examine issues of preservation, restoration, distribution, and exhibition at SAVE AS. Plus! Make new friends and meet some filmmakers at Film Club.
