Created in 2003, the Regent Park Film Festival (RPFF) is the sole
community film festival in Canada's largest and oldest inner city
neighbourhood; an area populated predominantly by new immigrants. All
our screenings as well as childcare are free-of-charge.
RPFF is a non-profit community film festival dedicated to screening films relevant to the communities living in Regent Park with an emphasis on thought provoking films from our regions of origin: Africa, South Asia, East Asia and the Caribbean, as well as from across Canada and the rest of the world.
As a cultural & educational media arts organization, we organize an annual festival along with year-round school and community screenings, panel discussions, exhibitions, performances and professional workshops. We showcase independent films of all genres celebrating differences and cultivating solidarity, exploring immigrant experiences, inner city issues, cultural identity and multicultural relationships. Additionally, films made in Regent Park and by its residents through Focus:Regent Park Youth Media Arts Centre are highlighted during our Opening Night Program, "Community Stories" and during our Matinée School Programs. These films are the centerpiece of the festival, supporting self-representation and allowing for Regent Park's community's voice to be heard by a broader audience.
