Inaugurated as a grassroots non-profit film festival in 2012, the ICFF has grown to the the largest Italian film festival outside of Italy. Each year, ICFF is proud to present an inspiring showcase of the best new Italian and international cinema.
The ICFF takes place every June during Ontario’s “Italian Heritage Month” and is presented in more Canadian cities each year, including Toronto, Vaughan. Niagara, Hamilton, Montreal and Quebec City.
Using the power of the moving image to both entertain and educate, ICFF defies conventional perspectives on complex and challenging issues facing both the Italian and global communities. All ICFF films are subtitled in English (or French in the Province of Quebec) as most are in Italian or other foreign languages.
Every year the festival presents an international collection of feature films, documentaries and shorts, including premieres, advance screenings and independent films. Screenings are supplemented by guest appearances by filmmakers, actors, authors, academics and other expert speakers and complemented by Q&A sessions.
Awards & Prizes:
* People’s Choice Award – The best feature film chosen by the audience will be announced on the last day of the festival.
* Critics’ Award – The best feature film as selected by a jury composed by members from the Toronto Film Critics Association.
* ICFF Best Short Film Award – The jury of Canadian experts will vote and select one short film that provides exciting and engaging storytelling to receive this award as well as CAD $1,000.
* Special Award – For the feature film that best promotes the Italian-Canadian social and cultural values.
