Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

 The Calgary International Film Festival, presented by connectFirst Credit Union, wrapped up its 23rd annual edition on Sunday October 2, and is excited to announce the Telus Audience Choice Award winners, which are based on the collective scores of audience ballots collected throughout the festival. 

“The audience clearly responded to the diverse selections of films – from the witty and clever to the timely and challenging. It’s also great to see that over half of the feature Audience Choice Awards went to women filmmakers,” said Brian Owens, CIFF’s Artistic Director.
