Director Kurtis David Harder and guests will be in attendance at the September 24 screening.

Kurtis David Harder has been making films and screening them at the Calgary International Film Festival since he was a youth, winning the YYC Award at the 2010 festival before debuting his first feature, CODY FITZ (CIFF 2012), followed by INCONTROL (CIFF 2016), and several others as a producer and director. Featuring incredible locations and packed with twists and turns, INFLUENCERS is a super fun follow-up to his Shudder hit INFLUENCER (2023).

In the sun-drenched countryside of southern France, CW (Cassandra Naud) lives a quiet, idyllic life with her girlfriend Diane, hiding a dark obsession with murder and stolen identities. During an anniversary getaway, they cross paths with Charlotte, a bold, alluring influencer whose curiosity quickly turns intrusive. When CW acts on a violent impulse, the consequences spiral out of control, and as Diane begins to suspect the truth, CW’s carefully constructed life threatens to collapse around her.
