The Kingston Canadian Film Festival is an annual celebration of the best in Canadian cinema held in Kingston, Ontario. It is the largest stand-alone showcase of feature films from across Canada. The 2017 festival took place on March 2-5
The Kingston Canadian Film Festival is held annually in late February to early March and is a registered not-for-profit organization.
The Kingston Canadian Film Festival was launched in 2001 by Alex Jansen, who was then studying film at Queen's University. It was a three-day event held at the Screening Room Movie Theater, a two screen repertory cinema which Jansen was managing at the time. The Festival was launched with assistance from Moving Pictures: Canadian Films on Tour (who were replaced by the Toronto International Film Festival Group in 2003). In 2002, the Festival added a second, larger venue on the Queen's University campus, increased the number of screenings substantially and added a fourth day to the event, becoming the largest stand-alone showcase of feature films from across Canada.
The LFI includes numerous internships in partnership with the Queen's University Department of Film Studies, an annual seminar, various workshops, and one-on-one mentoring sessions between attending industry professionals and area filmmakers. The Festival also continues to present one locally produced short film before each feature.
This program consists entirely of non-subtitled French language films. These films would otherwise be unavailable to local audiences.
This program offers local filmmakers the opportunity to meet industry professionals one-on-one. These meetings are an hour long each. The local filmmaker is matched with an industry guest who is most able to be of assistance to them.
The 2017 edition of the Kingston Canadian Film Festival included four short film programs (with dedicated slots for local artists and youth), free workshops and networking, industry guest appearances and talks, receptions, special events, music, comedy, and awards.
