Atlantic International Film Festival
Every September for the past 46 years, the Atlantic International Film Festival's eight-day celebration of film transforms the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia into an international arts hub.
The Atlantic International Film Festival is a non-profit, charitable organization with a mandate to celebrate, elevate, and advance the work of Atlantic Canadian filmmakers alongside a curated selection of films from around the globe. The Festival began as a tiny, grassroots operation in St. John’s, Newfoundland, in 1981, relocating to Halifax, Nova Scotia the following year. Providing an immersive escape and experience for movie lovers, filmmakers, and industry professionals, the festival is Atlantic Canada’s premier curator of standout Canadian and international films, inspiring audiences with films that reflect a diversity of voices and perspectives.
With our yearly lineup of highly anticipated film screenings, informative industry panels, and one-of-a-kind co-production/co-financing market, AIFF is dedicated to continuing its legacy as a key Atlantic Canada destination for film lovers and industry professionals.
