Founded in 2005, WIFF has grown into one of the largest and most vibrant volunteer-run film festivals in North America, transforming downtown Windsor, Ontario, into a bustling hub for film lovers, filmmakers, and industry professionals every autumn.

Over its multi-day run, WIFF showcases hundreds of feature films, documentaries, and shorts representing dozens of countries. The festival is deeply committed to highlighting diverse voices, championing Canadian talent through the prestigious WIFF Prize in Canadian Film, and providing a powerful platform for local independent filmmakers and students. With screenings held across multiple historic and state-of-the-art venues in the city’s core, WIFF offers an immersive, walkable, and deeply community-driven cinematic experience that connects audiences through the shared power of storytelling.
