Indo-Canadian Film Foundation
The Indo-Canadian Film Foundation champions storytellers, builds creative bridges, and celebrates the shared cinematic future of Canada and India.
Who we are
ICFF is a Canadian cultural foundation working at the meeting point of two of the world's most prolific film cultures. We support filmmakers, present screenings and industry events, and create the conditions for genuine collaboration between Canada and India.
Our work is practical: mentorship for emerging directors, a table where producers from both countries can actually meet, and screenings that give audiences here regular access to work they'd otherwise never see.
