The Edmonton International Film Festival is an annual competition and showcase of independent films from around the world. The festival dates for 2005 are September 30 to October 8.
The Edmonton International Film Festival is a celebration of independent film, and the strength of spirit that goes into making these non-Hollywood movies. Presenting movies from across the planet, the festival strives to bring new ideas, new ways of storytelling, and even finding stories themselves that the people of northern Alberta might have no other opportunity to experience. We encourage filmmakers to come along for the ride, too, creating an intimate experience for artists and bringing inspiration to our growing film community. {{Canadian City/Disable Field={{{Disable Motto Link}}}}} Motto: Industry Integrity Progress City of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Location. ...
Known as the EdmontonInternationalFilmFestival since 2004, and moved to a new autumn timeslot – when Mother Nature is much kinder – the festival is now in-line with the existing Canadian film circuit, making accessibility to films (and filmmakers)a whole lot easier.
All filmfestivals are in heavy competition with each other to woo the world’s top filmmakers to their event and Edmonton is no exception.
The EdmontonInternationalFilmFestival Society is a non-profit society registered September 8, 1999 under the Societies Act of Alberta (Charity number 87156-9984-RT0001).
