At 1 p.m., catch this year's Canadian Shorts program, featuring a diverse lineup of wild and wonderful works from some true visionaries across the country. At 3 p.m. we'll present The Crossing, the mesmerizing paint-on-glass masterpiece from French animator Florence Miailhe. Tickets are still available online and at the door for $10!
Huge thanks to everyone who joined us this year and made our return to in-person HIFF so special. It's been a genuine blast getting out in our city and celebrating cinema with you.

Closing out HIFF 2022 is The Crossing, the astonishing debut feature from Florence Miailhe. In an unnamed place and time, two siblings, Kyona and Adriel, are separated from their family and forced to leave their home behind as they flee from the horrors of ethnic persecution. On their long and arduous passage to safety and freedom, they face losing their identities, the incomprehensibility of violence, and an unexpected metamorphosis into adulthood. Staggeringly captured in Miailhe's striking paint-on-glass style, The Crossing is an astonishing technical and artistic triumph, and an unforgettable way to close out our 16th annual fest.
