International Festival of Winter Cinema
The International Festival of Winter Cinema (IFWC) celebrates local and international winter, alpine, and polar cinema on our giant snow screen! Presented as part of the Silver Skate Festival (the longest running winter festival in Edmonton), this is the world’s only free outdoor winter film festival. IFWC allows film artists to gain exposure to their craft, while the public has the opportunity to enjoy the films.
IFWC 2025's program will include a variety of film experiences, with short film nights that include the best of local films, Indigenous perspectives, and winter sports films projected on the famous snow screen!
