INVESTING IN THE ARTISTS WHO BRING CINEMA TO LIFE

At CIFF, we celebrate more than films, we celebrate the people who make them.

The Cinematic Futures Fund exists to ensure these artists receive recognition and support. By increasing cash prizes across CIFF’s programming, we can empower filmmakers at every stage of their careers and attract world-class films to Calgary.

By investing in the Cinematic Futures Fund, you can help CIFF transform the way filmmakers are supported. Your contribution will increase cash prizes for juried awards, giving artists the recognition, resources, and encouragement they need to bring their stories to life, shine in their craft, and reach audiences far and wide. You’re not just funding awards—you’re shaping careers and championing the next generation of cinematic voices.

Every contribution helps CIFF honour the full spectrum of cinematic talent. By investing in the Cinematic Futures Fund, you are empowering creators, amplifying voices, and shaping the next generation of storytelling.

Join us. Celebrate filmmakers. Invest in cinematic futures.
