ABOUT CIFF
The Canadian International Faith & Family Film Festival (CIFF) is a charitable not-for-profit organization and is a division of A.C.T. Canada & International (Artists in Christian Testimony). Our mission is to showcase faith & family films. We are well on our way to be an international leader in faith based film & music culture.
The festival runs in September; CIFF takes place at Innis College – University of Toronto which features two state of the art cinemas, world class cinema studies programs and learning facilities; The festival is taking place at a time of year where many events are taking place in the peek of summer. The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) runs at the same time, a great time to network!
