From Sept. 16-19, 2016, Canada China Art-Tech and mDreams Pictures will host the first edition of the Canada China International Film Festival (CCIFF) in Montreal, Quebec. The festival will promote an exchange between Chinese and Canadian film culture, foster cooperation, and encourage communication between artists and filmmakers. In addition, the festival will be a platform for innovation and creation, as it will showcase the latest in interactive technology.

Based on the support from Canadian and Chinese governments, CCIFF aims to attract international audiences. To achieve this, the focus of the festival will be on current and predicted filmmaking practices. The main events that make up the festival will also be tailored for international appeal. For instance, there will be several main events during the three-day festival, including the Opening Ceremony, the People’s Film Screening and Competition, Women’s Voice in Film and Television, The Entertainment Technology Summit, Canada China Film Project Pitching, the Film Technology Exhibition and the Closing Ceremony.

As both the Chinese and Canadian government have determined that 2016 is The Year of People to People and Cultural Exchanges, CCIFF will successfully bring international filmmakers together, activate opportunities between the Chinese and Canadian film markets, and strive for increased influence in the international film market.
