November 28 – December 1, 2024

We invite you to join us for the 22nd Annual Regent Park Film Festival, Toronto’s most highly-anticipated community-focused event. RPFF brings together a wide array of audiences to experience a thoughtfully curated selection of independent, local, and international films from and about Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) communities.

RPFF presents films of all genres that resonate with and relate to the diverse lived experiences of BIPOC communities, along with interactive storytelling, industry events, workshops, and more.

As part of our commitment to these values and goals of advancing equity and inclusion in the Canadian media industry and arts community, RPFF prioritizes Regent Park residents; people with low income; people who live in public housing; and individuals who identify as Black, Indigenous, a Person of Colour, a woman or non-binary, a member of the 2SLGBTQI+, a person with a disability, or a combination of these identities.

In conjunction with our Annual Film Festival, RPFF presents our School Program which curates free media-literacy programming and lesson plans for educators and students across Canada in Grades 1-8. You can read more about the program here.
