About

For just over one week in spring, Calgary is host to over 200 bands and a plethora of the most amazing films and festivals showcasing their goods. Sled Island Film takes place in the beautiful big sky, rocky mountain province of Alberta, not an island, but we are like an island in a big prairie--an oasis. Calgary is just two hours from our good friends and the Banff Center for The Arts and basically the biggest recreational playground you can find.

June 24 – 29, 2010, Sled Island Film has recently become great interest to the larger independent international film markets as well as the local Alberta film community. For the 2010 Sled Island Festival, Sled Island Film will be showcasing 20+ signatory film programs in partnership with over 14 enthused Alberta film festivals and film presentation societies of highly sought after independent works. Sled Island film will also be incorporating a local Symposium portion to the Festival in direct partnership with the Alberta Media Arts Alliance Society including panel discussions on media arts, trends, and relevant issues.

Sled Island Film supports the presentation of film in Calgary and Alberta by providing a new forum for not only film as a medium and art, but for the numerous festivals and presentation societies of one of the most diverse and unique communities to be found. Festival of Festivals conducts professional signatory showcases by Calgary and Alberta film festival and presentation societies displaying the strength, integrity, and vitality of each separately and as a whole. While celebrating our differences we are building our connectivity in continuing to support the medium we believe in and dedicate ourselves to.

Sled Island Film is proud to introduce this year’s inaugural Festival of Festivals partners including:
