A lively, bold, popular, innovative event! For more than 50 years, the FNC has been making national and international auteur cinema accessible, treating audiences to works of diversity and originality by emerging and major filmmakers. Our focus on the NEW is threefold: new creators, new approaches and new technologies. Dean of Canadian film festivals and a major Quebec event, the FNC presents over 200 works from 60 different countries to celebrate the best of today’s cinema! The festival focuses on a series of first or second feature-length films and on the innovative work of young filmmakers. The FIPRESCI prize at FNC celebrates young voices and new talents in filmmaking.
