FOFS is proud to partner with the national public broadcaster, CBC. Due to COVID-19, the venue for the event has been moved online and the films will be available to everyone in Canada, coast to coast to coast, on the free CBC Gem streaming service August 21st - September 4th. Our Senior Programmer, Zac Goldkind, has curated a selection of 6 films that speak to the future of film in a unique way. Coupled with each film you will find our pre-recorded Filmmaker Q&A's, available to stream on FOFS' Facebook and Youtube pages. Our Q&A's will feature our directors discussing their process, as well as debate on the current climate of film festivals as many transition to the online sphere.
FOFS will present an online Industry Panel, with esteemed guests and moderator to be announced.

Future of Film Showcase would like to acknowledge the land on which we gather and organize is the territory of the Anishinaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, the Huron-Wendat, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Today, the meeting place of Toronto is home to many Indigenous peoples. A territorial acknowledgement can demonstrate a coming to awareness, and provoke thought and reflection, all of which are essential in beginning to establish reciprocal relations. This acknowledgement should not function as closure, resignation, or acceptance of the structural conditions of settler colonialism that remain in effect today. The Future of Film Showcase will continue to ask what it means for us to keep open a spirit of sustained inquiry into the complexities of our context.
