COMMFFEST::Community Film Festival is a charitable organization, combining films and videos followed by panel discussions which includes a question and answer period for individuals and communities to engage in a dialogue of social issues and cultural exchange through the powerful language of film in all genres.

COMMFFEST showcases a wide variety of local, national, and international films. Its main objective is to bring communities together to increase awareness and understanding that we are more alike than not. Each film represents a voice to share experiences, educate others on their struggles, and discover common bonds of solidarity.

COMMFFEST aims to present a broad and diverse overview of films representing current affairs and relevant issues that affect our communities, providing an opportunity for filmmakers to express themselves freely and connect with audiences on a more personal level. The collective mix of film, filmmakers, and audiences creates a dynamic atmosphere to provoke thought and stimulate further understanding and exploration of ideas, attitudes, and emotions that can foster change – starting with the communities in which we live.

COMMUNITY BUILDING

COMMFFEST provides film workshops for both Youth and adults as a community outreach program and is supported this year by TD CANADA TRUST and ACA GALLERY. The best films created will premiere at the festival.
