Scarborough Worldwide Film Festival

Founded in 2013, Scarborough Film Festival kicked off to the audience of just over 1,000 guests, and in the next 5 years that followed became the largest cultural event in Scarborough, welcoming over 14,000 individuals to our 150 programs, representing over 70 countries. The festival originally formed as a volunteer-driven Non-For-Profit run collective led by arts and culture-professionals and aficionados. There is no organization in Scarborough or similar organization outside of Toronto downtown core that currently provides the services and emphasis that Scarborough Film Festival provides. Scarborough Film Festival is filling an important gap in alternative programming, education and entertainment, and enhancing cultural landscape of East York and Scarborough through the art of international films and multicultural cinema.
