THE ATLANTIC FILM FESTIVAL

Noted as a top festival in Canada, the Atlantic Film Festival is held every September in beautiful, historic yet contemporary city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Strong east coast roots support a unique format for Atlantic Film Festival with its distinctive focus on film and music. Large enough to attract the world’s most notable actors, directors and producers, but intimate enough to be innovative and flexible in its approach to the changing needs of our industry, audience and the communities we serve, the AFF provides an unpretentious atmosphere for watching some of the best international, Canadian and Atlantic Canadian films, while showcasing some of the best musical talent the region has to offer.
