With film festivals all over the world celebrating and honouring the people who create movies, Canada offers its own share of fascinating festivals. Film festivals of Canada offer one-of-a-kind experience and a wonderful prerogative to explore the art of filmmaking, listen to the creators, talk about their exclusive work, and view the best of international cinema in different genres. Also, each festival broadcasts the summits and workshops as a part of the festival in order to give the visitors every possible update on cinema. Two out of the many annual film festivals which make holidays in Canada a remarkable affair are discussed below.
