What makes Gimli Film Festival screenings different?
Seeing an outdoor movie at the GFF is a one-of-a-kind experience. The Rogers Cinema Under the Stars 11 metre screen rises out of the water and the audience watches from the sand. The film starts as the sun sets, and on a good night the stars and the northern lights enhance your film experience.
The very best features, documentaries and shorts from Canada and around the world are featured in our four indoor venues. All four venues are within walking distance of central Gimli.
