The Montreal World Film Festival is an event wherethere is always something to discover. The 39th edition is the perfect illustration, with more than 80 countries represented: beside the major producing countries, the Festival is hosting works from Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Bermuda, Congo, Greenland, Kyrgyzstan, Kosovo, Liberia, Malawi, Nepal, Nicaragua. Whatother film event can rival this cultural diversity ? Off the beaten track, far from “fashion” or familiar formulas, the MWFF is the ideal place for genuinely curious moviegoers. Add to this a friendly atmosphere and dedicated staff  always happy to receive guests. In short, a dozen days of filmgoing happiness! 

There’s no doubt that the MWFF is unique. Its disappearance would be a disaster for Montreal’s cultural life.
