UWPGFF offers world-wide access to free film screenings & talks

Founded in 2002, The University of Winnipeg Student Film Festival (UWPGFF) is an event hosted by the University of Winnipeg department of Theatre and Film in Winnipeg Manitoba.

UWPG Film Festival provides a stepping stone for student filmmakers to expose themselves to the greater industry outside of their post-secondary institutions and celebrate new emerging filmmakers.

We produce short film screenings, talks and workshops as a way for both our local and greater communities to look, listen, and learn - sharing what unites us: our love for cinema.
