The North Bay Film Festival is a celebration of cinema on the shores of Lake Nipissing.

North Bay Film Festival takes place every November in beautiful North Bay, Ontario at the historic Capitol Centre Theatre. The festival features international, Canadian and local films paired with panel discussions, receptions, workshops and industry events. North Bay Film Festival is presented by the Near North Mobile Media Lab and North Bay Film.

NBFF is dedicated to showcasing the best in contemporary cinema with a focus on emerging Canadian and northern Ontario filmmakers. From our home on the shores of Lake Nipissing, we encourage audiences to explore a variety of programs while aiming to present stories from a diverse background of perspectives. We believe a film festival is more than just screenings and is a vital venue where artists can connect, share, learn and exchange to help grow the local and regional sector.

The North Bay Film Festival builds on the legacy of the All Canadian Film Festival (2003 to 2013) and Doc North (2011 to 2014).
