Official programme & viewing information
This is primarily an in-person festival. Use CIFF's official programme and ticketing pages for exact screenings, venues, availability and any official digital programming.
Before visiting or looking for coverage
Use the Calgary festival archive to build a film shortlist even after the event ends. Record each film’s original title, director and year from its programme entry. Those details help distinguish a later theatrical or streaming release from another film with a similar translated title.
When comparing a feature with a shorts programme, check the full session description. A shorts ticket may cover several works, and the session’s total running time can include introductions or discussion. Do not assume a trailer represents everything included in the programme.
For a future screening or any digital access, return to CIFF’s current programme and box-office guidance. Festival selection does not establish a Canadian streaming release, much less worldwide availability. A saved title is a discovery lead; it is not a reservation or a guarantee that the festival recording is available online.
