Established in 1989, the nine-day long event, Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival has expanded year by year to gather the best work in A-list films around the world. The festival currently screens, every year, 135 films, including full-length features, shorts, documentaries and animation during September. Additionally, within the festival, Industry Forum has been launched to connect the emerging and mid-career filmmakers with film professionals and institutions. The festival also holds a monthly event called “Cinéfest Sudbury Film Series” to feature the best in the Canadian and international cinema.
