The 26th edition of the Kingston Canadian Film Festival will take place February 25 – March 1, 2026. For over a quarter century, KCFF has been committed to promoting the best of our national cinema, inviting filmmakers from coast-to-coast-to-coast to attend and celebrate alongside our passionate and dedicated audience.

Over the years, KCFF has welcomed nearly 2,000 special guests, including names like Allan King, Gordon Pinsent, Deepa Mehta, Jay Baruchel, Atom Egoyan, Alanis Obomsawin, Matt Johnson, Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers, and Don McKellar.

There’s tons of ways to get involved in KCFF! You can submit a film, volunteer, sponsor/donate, or simply save the dates and attend. Our lineup will be announced January 28 and tickets will go on sale January 30.

Much, much more to unveil in the coming months! We look forward to seeing you at KCFF26!
