AFIN International Film Festival celebrates and showcases excellence in filmmaking and storytelling from emerging and established filmmakers and screenwriters, diversity and culture, both domestically, and from every corner of the globe.
Now in its ninth year, AFIN is a Top 100 Best Reviewed, IMDb-qualifying festival, with past winners including Evangeline Lilly, Neil Marshall and Laura Vandervoort. The 2026 Awards Night is where this year’s finalists are honoured.
