Regent Park Film Festival

Toronto's longest running free community film festival

The Regent Park Film Festival (RPFF) is Toronto’s longest-running, free community film festival, located in Canada’s largest and oldest public housing neighbourhood. In addition to our annual festival in November, we offer year-round screenings, our annual School Program, workshops and community events at no cost.

The key communities we serve are Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) communities, people who are low-income, people who live in public housing, and Regent Park residents. The films we present break stereotypes and show that no place or person has just one story.

The 19th Annual Regent Park Film Festival runs November 2021.

Due to COVID-19 RPFF is working remotely. The fastest way to contact us is by emailing info@regentparkfilmfestival.com.
