WIFF Under the Stars

What started as a response to being unable to hold the Festival in 2020 and 2021, has evolved into a yearly outdoor community event. WIFF Under the Stars is held over one weekend in the summer where WIFF screens films all day over the weekend, free for all to enjoy. A main focus of the initiative for WIFF is to give back to the community that makes us a successful organization year-over-year and to increase the accessibility of great films.

In 2025, WIFF will host the free outdoor, three-day WIFF Under the Stars event at the front lawn of the Aquatic Centre from Friday, June 13 – Sunday, June 15. By setting up a 20’ LED screen, we turn the lawn space into an ultimate summer film experience. WIFF will screen 23 films including festival favourites, summer blockbusters, and Canadian programming among others.

Bring your blankets and chairs, friends and family, and enjoy a weekend of amazing movies. Concessions and merchandise will be available for purchase, including popcorn from What’s Poppin’, and soda from the Soda Pop Bros, two local businesses.
