It’s time to unite as Festival champions. If you believe in the transformative power of movies and envision Calgary as a hub for cinematic arts, this is your moment

As a registered charity and not-for-profit organization, CIFF operates year-round, supported by individuals, Film Circle, corporate sponsors, and a dedicated volunteer network. Your contribution matters deeply: the price of a ticket covers less than one-third of our festival costs because what we do transcends commercial cinema.

Join us in shaping Calgary’s cultural future. Your support not only sustains a world-class film festival but also cultivates a community where creativity thrives and stories inspire.
