MIFF is an annual and seasonal festival which has devoted itself to the promotion and screening of independent films and the language of cinema. The seasonal festival of MIFF has turned into one of the most popular competitions for independent cinema and artists from all over the globe. The annual festival happens every March at the Cinema du Parc of Montreal and the finalists of the year are screened and promoted through the platform.
