The North Bay Film Festival returns to the historic Capitol Centre Theatre from November 13–15, 2026. This three-day event features award-winning international, Canadian, and local films alongside filmmaker Q&As, juried Canadian shorts, and our Opening Gala.

The festival is dedicated to presenting the best of contemporary cinema while highlighting the work of Canadian, Indigenous, and Northern Ontario filmmakers.

Early Bird Festival Passes are now on sale for $60 until the end of September.
