I AM CINEMA - Independent Film Festival · Montréal 2026

April 17, 2026 · Doors at 6:00 PM · Funamis, Montréal

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Cinema doesn't ask for permission. It introduces itself.

I AM CINEMA is not a conventional festival. It is a gathering built around one radical idea: cinema is not something you make — it is something you become.

Join us for an evening of five independent films selected from international submissions, screened in an intimate setting in the heart of Montréal. Each work was chosen for its presence, artistic integrity, and commitment to a personal vision.
