Newmarket International Film Festival is dedicated to independent cinema and filmmakers from all over the world.
The first annual event was a successful program where many international projects were screened and competed from all over the world.
For the second year of competition, the festival will be monthly and annual. Our monthly festival will select films for our online competition and our annual event will be in north of Toronto where we will screen films and create networking events for the filmmakers and award the best films in various categories.
Newmarket Film Festival is established by a team of filmmakers and film critics from Toronto. The members of the jury are film scholars, filmmakers and critics from Toronto.
The festival is located in north of Toronto in the beautiful town of Newmarket where many stars such as Jim Carrey were born.
For our monthly edition, we choose our jury from previous winners and film scholars from Toronto.
We understand how difficult it is to make an independent film and we stand with all the filmmakers and truly care about the language of cinema as an art form.
