KIFF is, without doubt, one of the best film festivals I have ever attended. Communication from the whole team was excellent throughout - both in the lead up to, and the festival itself.  Everyone was so welcoming, enthusiastic, and supportive. My only regret is that I do not yet have another film ready to submit for next year... but I'm sure I'll go along anyway. Cannot recommend KIFF highly enough.

Really lovely Festival. Staff and support exceptional. Thanks for screening my film! Really enjoyed being there and meeting the other filmmakers. All the thought and effort made to help emerging filmmakers.

Fantastic festival! Especially for being so young! It’s only going to get better.  Wonderful programming, great venue, lovely people. As a Canadian filmmaker, a lot of the industry panels were pretty UK industry centered which is to be expected, I still learned a TON from the pitching panel. Q&A’s were great. Screening quality was fantastic and well attended.
