Bringing attention to the experiences of diasporic communities through the transformative power of cinema
The Diaspora Film Festival showcases stories that reflect the complexities of identity, migration, and belonging. We spotlight voices too often left out of mainstream media, creating a platform for authentic storytelling that resonates across cultures and communities.
Founded in Toronto, our festival has become a vital space for filmmakers and audiences to connect through shared experiences of movement, memory, and hope.
