The 2015 COMMFFEST (Community Film Festival) celebrates its 10^th anniversary from September 23 to 30, screening in movie theatres and exhibition spaces, presented yearly by a group of dedicated volunteers. COMMFFEST a non-profit charitable corporation makes its home in one of Toronto’s most fast growing, economically diverse neighbourhood, Old Town Toronto, where many languages are spoken.

COMMFFEST, helmed by Sandie de Freitas, is dedicated to presenting a wide variety of local, national, and international works that can transform and shape our views of the world.

 The films: COMMFFEST presents films of all genres from the quirky independent short to commercially distributed full-length films.

The programming: The films are chosen by a jury of professionals from a globally solicited call for submissions. Once chosen, the programming is created to generate discussion around specific world events and themes, provoking dialogue and acceptance of others and their concerns.

COMMFFEST mission statement:  To advance education by raising the cultural, artistic and aesthetic expression of the community. And to advance the public’s appreciation of the arts through related artistic workshops and panel discussions, while promoting the works of filmmakers and artists alike.
