CJFF is a volunteer-run non-profit organization dedicated to bringing justice-focused films from around the world to Calgary. Every screening we host is free to attend, made possible by our dedicated supporters and funders.

With a rigorous selection process, we select our films from over 500 filmmakers across 100 countries. Each screening is accompanied by a lively discussion featuring filmmakers or topic experts, fostering engaging dialogue.

During the festival, we also host the Peace Market, a pop-up showcase of local non-profit organizations, NGOs and community-focused volunteer groups sharing food, crafts, and info about local and global activism.

Our Vision
To influence positive behavioural change by sharing environmental and social justice films that inspire and engage neighbours to become global citizens.
