South Asian Film Festival of Montréal (SAFFM)

This festival is committed to showcasing new artistic work that fosters discussion and delves into universal issues. It is the only festival of its kind in Quebec. The festival is a platform for filmmakers worldwide whose films have a focus on South Asia and the South Asian diaspora. Many are Canadian premiers and award-winning. All films are in competition for awards to be decided by an independent, international jury. This year’s festival will offer short and feature length documentary and fiction films shown in cinemas and online, with panelists and filmmakers from around the world. In-person films will be shown in several locations with most films subtitled in both English and French.
