Guelph Film Festival
This year’s festival is all about renewal — reimagining how we live, connect, and lead with our values. It’s time to burn it down, compost it up, and redefine our future — one that nourishes and empowers us all.
Highlights:
-Opening Night: River of Grass — immerse yourself in the wild beauty of the Florida Everglades.
-Closing Night: Dust to Dust — a bold strut down the runway of sustainable fashion.
-Short Doc Collections: Culture & Belonging and Art & Impact — exploring Black and queer cultures, post-life planning, the rights of nature, inclusive storytelling, and community through basketball.
We share stories that matter, spark conversations that connect us, and invite everyone to join. We are delighted to be able to continue to offer the 2025 festival for free to folks under 30. And when we say “Pay What You Want” we really mean it. If you want to come, we want you here!
