The 26th edition of the Kingston Canadian Film Festival took place February 25 – March 1, 2026. This year, the Fest presented more than 100 individual films and more than five dozen screenings. We kicked things off with Hubert Davis’ YOUNGBLOOD, our official opening night gala film. The KCFF26 lineup also included more than 30 non-film events, including industry development sessions at Queen’s University, as well as live music concerts and stand-up comedy. Performing this year at KCFF26 were musical artists Bif Naked, July Talk, Born Ruffians, Julianna Riolino, Ancient Shapes, and The Codas, as well as comedians Shaun Majumder, Mark Forward, K. Trevor Wilson, Guled Abdi, and more.

We’re already hard at work on next year’s Fest; see you in 2027!
