The Montreal Asian International Film Festival
Now in its 13th edition, the Montreal Asian International Film Festival (MAiFF) marks a major new chapter for Arts East-West in its 30-year anniversary, as the long-running Korean Film Festival Canada expands into a broader platform for Asian and Asian-Canadian cinema. Running from May 14 to June 13, 2026, across venues throughout Tiohtià:ke/Montréal, MAiFF presents more than 60 films, workshops, exhibitions, and public programs that bring together local, diasporic, and international voices.
Under this year’s theme, “Tangibility: Soil, Body, Stories,” the festival explores how memory, migration, labour, and identity are carried through bodies, landscapes, and artistic expression across generations and communities.
