Regina International Film Festival

Annual Canadian film festival

The Regina International Film Festival and Awards (RIFFA) is an annual Canadian film festival, staged in Regina, Saskatchewan.[1]

The event founded by John Thimothy was launched in 2015, and concentrated solely on short films in its first year.[2] It was not held in 2016, with its second iteration instead taking place in 2017,[3] but has been staged annually since then and has expanded to include feature films.[4]

The festival also presents an annual program of awards to the films deemed to be the best in that year's festival.[5]
