Abbotsford Film Festival

The Abbotsford Film Festival (AFF) is a one day event with screenings, live music & craft beer designed to celebrate independent film like no other. Featuring a variety of short films & documentary screenings from local talent and international filmmakers, AFF provides a platform for filmmakers to showcase their work to sell out crowds (our first edition SOLD OUT within 10 minutes) and connect with other filmmakers. The festival has a a special focus on local artists in the community which culminates in the FRASER VALLEY AUDIENCE AWARD where the public vote for their favourite film from the Fraser Valley. We accept Shorts, Documentaries, Music Videos, Animations and Web Series from emerging artists and students to established professionals. We focus on films running UNDER 30 minutes. The Abbotsford Film Festival (AFF) is committed to the celebration of independent film and bringing it to wider audiences. The Abbotsford Film Festival runs every year in August at the Rail District in downtown Abbotsford. It also co-hosts the monthly Cult and Craft event with special screenings of cult films in Ravens Brewery.
