The Oakville Film Festival – Now in Burlington too!
Ten Days. Two Cities. Unforgettable Stories
The 13th Annual Oakville Film Festival (OFFA) celebrates thirteen years of bringing powerful, original storytelling and unforgettable cultural experiences to our community.
From June 17–27, 2026, audiences will discover an exciting lineup of local, Canadian, and international films that explore the moments that shape our lives — stories of identity, creativity, resilience, humour, and the communities that bind us together.
For 2026 OFFA continues its long-running tradition of showcasing bold independent cinema alongside music, arts, sports and cultural events, featuring narrative films, documentaries, shorts, and special programs that connect audiences to filmmakers and artists from around the world.
The festival experience goes beyond the screen with red-carpet Galas and parties, filmmaker Q&As, live performances, a four day Industry Summit with networking events and professional development opportunities, as well as special cultural celebrations. Select films will also be available online during the festival, allowing audiences to watch from home.
