Events Description
Celebrating and inspiring community through the shared experience of film, the Grand River Film Festival (GRFF) hosts both an annual festival and year-round film programs dedicated to bringing bold, reflective and inspiring films to Waterloo Region (Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo).
The festival hosts local, Canadian, and international films, pairing screenings with panels consisting of directors, film professionals, local interest groups and notable guest speakers. GRFF recognizes the power of film to connect people and is thrilled to act as a vehicle for the community to build relationships and host meaningful conversations within the Waterloo Region.
Grand River Film Festival 2024 Lineup
Our 16th festival continues our tradition of bringing the best local, Canadian, and international features and shorts to Waterloo, Kitchener, and Cambridge. For 2024, GRFF will screen 5 feature films and 24 shorts across the Tri-Cities.
This year we will screen our films at the Princess Twin in uptown Waterloo, the Kitchener Public Library Theatre in downtown Kitchener, the Gaslight District in Cambridge, and at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture in Cambridge. Find out more about our venues, including directions, and parking.
We will premiere the winners of the 4th annual Hospice of Waterloo Region YODO short film contest. We are also pleased once again to offer four different short film programs – Local, Canadian, International, and Documentary – with Free Admission, to increase accessibility of films our community can’t see anywhere else.
We are also greatly excited to partner with The Charlies, the Region’s longest running cinematic event, featuring an evening of exciting, creative, and amazing films created by students in the Region of Waterloo. We invite everyone to come out and witness the filmmakers of tomorrow.
