Durham Region International Film Festival (DRIFF) - October 19 to 21
Promoting arts, culture, creativity, and community, DRIFF showcases inspiring films that represent the distinctive voices of independent filmmakers. This fall festival will bring an exciting film festival experience to audiences in Durham Region—nurturing community connections with a peek at the behind-the-scenes of filmmaking, while supporting the development of local and international talent.
From the opening night and VIP gala reception to the final day that includes a free special DRIFF series, we welcome you to our three wonderfully unique locations: the Centennial Building in Whitby; St. Frances Centre in Ajax; and the Biltmore Theatre in Oshawa.
This event offers three days of thoughtful, curated, in-person programming from around the globe, with a focus on Canadian and Durham Region productions. In addition to screenings of short and feature-length films, check out the interactive film workshops and industry panels that were designed to engage a diverse network of audiences, filmmakers, and collaborators through a shared love of film.
Enjoy DRIFF’s 2023 selection of films as you learn about a filmmaker’s key responsibilities, challenges, and excitement while capturing their vision for the screen. Be part of the audience who determines the best film at the festival, while tasting delicious food and beverages at our local food and beverage showcase.
