About the festival

Devoted to celebrating and showcasing the works of emerging Atlantic filmmakers – with a special focus on Island screen artists - our festival has accomplished so much since its inception in 2015 under the umbrella of The Charlottetown Film Society.

Amazingly, close to 300 films have been screened – a banquet of feature films, documentaries, short dramas and comedies, animation, music videos. Something for everyone. And all share the important task of telling OUR stories to each other and the entire world, thanks to the efforts and big dreams of the determined regional filmmakers we spotlight.

An important function of any film festival is the opportunity it provides for networking and skills development. Friendly accessible receptions and informing panels have been a hallmark of the Charlottetown Film Festival. We are hoping to continue this tradition despite all the challenges 2021 might present come October. Fingers-crossed!
