Marda Loop Justice Film Festival is now Calgary Justice Film Festival!

At the Calgary Justice Film Festival, we present some of the world’s best fresh documentaries on the issues that are important to us as individuals, Canadians, global citizens, and humans. We’ve brought influential documentaries from international filmmakers to more than 30,000 people in the Calgary area and across Canada, and thanks to our sponsors and donors, we’ve done it all free of charge.

Every screening includes an audience-driven discussion with the filmmaker or experts on the film’s topic; these conversations are lively, inclusive and enlightening, occasionally charged or even contentious, but always thought-provoking.

The Calgary Justice Film Festival is held annually every November, occurring for one week from Monday - Sunday.
