ICFF Information

Founded as a grassroots non-profit film festival in 2012, the ICFF has since evolved into a dynamic, multidisciplinary organization that embraces all facets of the arts. Through its beloved, one-of-a-kind events spanning cinema, design, music, and visual art, ICFF champions Canada as a vibrant cultural and artistic destination. ICFF is the hosting organization of the Lavazza IncluCity Festival, a multicultural celebration that highlights over 20 diverse communities and attracts more than 58,000 attendees annually. Held in Toronto’s historic Distillery District, the festival transforms the area into an immersive open-air cinema village. With its signature outdoor couches, mega-screens, and electric atmosphere, the IncluCity Festival has become a recognizable and much-anticipated staple of the city’s summer calendar. Throughout the year, ICFF organizes a range of special initiatives that explore different aspects of world culture while engaging multi-generational and diverse audiences. Among its ongoing programming, ICFF proudly presents ICFF Youth, dedicated to students aged 8 to 18 across the GTA; ICFF Industry Days, a series of film and television conferences for professionals; and ICFF Architettura & Design, a curated program that brings internationally renowned experts to Toronto for panels and premieres. These are joined by various other high-profile events, including ICFF’s elegant Summer and Winter Galas, all aimed at supporting and enriching Canada’s cultural and artistic landscape.
