A little throw back to some of our wonder Q&As at KIFF this June. We want to make sure our filmmakers have the room to share their wonderful projects with us, not just on the screen but also afterwards! And we’re so lucky to have filmmakers travel from places like Canada, the US and Italy to take part in KIFF.

Submission are now open and we’d love to see YOUR film!
