About
Formerly the $100 Film Festival, Calgary’s longest-running film festival, was started back in 1992 by the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers (CSIF). The name “$100” emerged due to the challenge presented by the festival to shoot a short film on four rolls of Super 8 – which amounted to the cost of $100. In following years, the festival dropped the budgetary limit and allowed 16mm film, which shifted the focus from low-budget to quality small-format films. Now, a quarter century later, CSIF is extremely proud to have a festival that is among a select few worldwide to exhibit exclusively on small-format celluloid.
