NFB Unveils Bold Lineup: 9 Films at CIFF 2025
National Film Board of Canada (NFB) excellence in documentary and animation will be showcased at the 2025 Calgary International Film Festival (September 18-28), with a stellar lineup of three feature-length and six short films, including three world premieres.
Making its world premiere in Calgary is Love, Harold (52 Media/NFB), a moving feature doc by acclaimed Toronto filmmaker Alan Zweig, in his first collaboration with the NFB.
The festival will also host the world premiere of Unfolding Faith, a deeply personal short by Calgary director Elyse Bouvier, and the hometown premiere of Siksikakowan: The Blackfoot Man by Calgary-based Siksika filmmaker Sinakson Trevor Solway.
Rounding out the world premieres is the animated short Good Luck to You All from Winnipeg animator Cordell Barker, a two-time Oscar nominee.
