The Concordia Film Festival (CFF) is a student-run, non-profit festival that runs in collaboration with Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema (MHSoC) at Concordia University. Through screenings and events, we are able to display the works produced by the diverse range of filmmakers at MHSoC, and invited works from filmmakers around the globe. Almost 50 years old, it is the largest and oldest student-run film festival in North America and has become a main-stay of the film industry in Montreal.

It is run by students, for students, to create work and creative opportunities that showcase early-career artists from all disciplines. Works range from theatre, new media, dance, sculpture, design, literature, film, and music and is a great way to engage with the art scene in Montreal.
