The Edmonton International Film Festival (EIFF)... international, independent and eye-opening. Established in 1986, our 10-day festival is committed to showcasing contemporary, independent films that will enlighten and entertain our audiences.  We look for films that make us better people -- films with soul.  Each year, EIFF presents a cinematic smorgasbord of more than 150 features, documentaries and shorts to a sophisticated, appreciative audience.  Inspiring and sometimes, life-changing, EIFF hosts a variety of guests that include directors, producers, writers, actors, distributors and programmers. This festival is about FILMS and the people who MAKE them!
