Les Films Francophone

Presented by ICI Windsor

WIFF is delighted to showcase a compelling slate of Francophone films covering a broad spectrum of genres. We are proud to have ICI Radio-Canada serve as the official presenter of our Francophone programming. In 2023, the 54 Francophone films screened at WIFF made up 29% of the overall programming. This is the largest number of Francophone feature films of any film festival in Canada (including Québec).

Every festival year, in partnership with Conseil scolaire catholique Providence, WIFF brings in over 11 Francophone schools on Opening Day to experience a double feature of Francophone films on the big screen. In 2023, WIFF hosted over 1,000 students. WIFF is thrilled to be able to provide the community with options to experience a large slate of francophone films every year.


Hotdocs Showcase

WIFF teams up annually with the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival to present the Hot Docs Showcase.

Documentaries allow viewers a look into a wide spectrum of truths, all within the same reality. Their potential for exploration, collaboration and creativity is constantly growing, and the boundaries are limitless. Annually, the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival presents a stellar lineup of Canadian and International documentaries. The showcase highlights some of the best of the year.


Spotlight On Architecture

Presented by Windsor Region Society of Architects

Architecture influences many aspects of daily life. Architects create spaces, both public and private. They are talented individuals with a flair for design, an awareness of social trends and concrete engineering skills. The Windsor Region Society of Architects (WRSA) supports and encourages the profession of architecture. WRSA is also interested in a variety of social issues including urban gentrification, housing, access and the role of public spaces and livable communities. For more than eight years, WRSA has joined forces with WIFF to promote four films that bring attention to issues surrounding communities & public spaces, the built environment, the creative process and the role of architecture and design in the modern world.


LGBTQ2+ Programming

Our roster of LGBTQ2+ films is significant thanks to the wide range of titles spanning the world. Films are selected from major LGBTQ2S+ festivals including Inside Out Toronto and the San Francisco International Film Festival. This slate displays the profound diversity that exists within this community and tells stories through films serious and comical, true and fictional, entertaining and life-changing.
