HIFF presents seven days of film and video screenings, performances, artist talks, and live events annually. Held each April, the Halifax Independent Filmmakers Festival is dedicated to the exhibition of film and video as art, in a noncompetitive festival setting – free from commercial and industry agendas.
Featured at the festival in 2011 will be a retrospective of Gariné Torossian’s work and her feature-length Stone Time Touch, as well as retrospectives of the works of filmmakers Brenda Longfellow, Sharon Switzer, and John Greyson.
HIFF2011 will also feature the return of the One Minute Film Program gala screening along with screenings of local work by female writers and directors, a program of animation from Atlantic Canada, and another full program of recent short films from Atlantic Canada. Live Art Dance Productions will present another installment of the popular Dance On Screen and the AFCOOP Filmmaker In Residence for 2010 will debut their work, produced within the program, at the festival.
