Among the 10 features in the 2025 selection is Uiksaringitara (Wrong Husband), the winner of the Best Canadian Feature Film Award at TIFF ’25, at which director Zacharias Kunuk was also honoured with a Special Tribute Award.

The short film lineup includes seven films that screened at this year’s Festival, including Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski’s The Girl Who Cried Pearls, which won the Short Cuts Award for Best Canadian Short Film and was recently nominated for an Oscar in the category of Best Animated Short Film; Heather Young’s A Soft Touch, which earned an honourable mention from the jury; and Klee, a mashup of body horror and Prairie Gothic by director Gavin Baird.

This year’s lineup has a lot to offer for a variety of audience members. It is really great to see some films I had on my festival picks from last year. I am also hoping to see the shorts programmes as well as some of the features I have yet to see.
