Canadian Film Forum
The Canadian Film Forum (CFF) is a regular series presented by Innis College and the Cinema Studies Institute (CSI) that features screenings and discussions of recent Canadian work. Audiences get to see more than a film; they’re invited to stay for an intimate Q & A session with the movie’s director(s), producer(s), actors, and/or other creative personnel in Innis’s state-of-the-art Town Hall theatre at no cost.
Past guests have included established icons of Canadian film including Norman Jewison, Deepa Mehta, Atom Egoyan and Guy Maddin, but also emerging talent such as Stephen Dunn, Richie Mehta, Kaz Radwanski, and Alison Black. A full list of the filmmakers and their works featured in the Canadian Film Forum series can be found below.
