Film North, Huntsville International Film Festival, is the newest place for a small, simple, excellent
festival in a remote location. Huntsville is a two hour drive north of Toronto, in the beautiful lake district setting of Muskoka,
Ontario, Canada. Movie lovers can continue after attending the Toronto International Film Festival, TIFF,
the first two weekends of September, to the lovely setting of Huntsville, Ontario, Canada,
the third weekend of September. Our mandate is to create a user - friendly environment for emerging Canadian and
International Filmmakers to exhibit, promote, entertain and inform the audience. We are an incorporated non profit organization.
Our board of Directors are from the film, arts and business sectors. The founders are residents of Toronto and Huntsville,
with backgrounds in the Film and Arts professions.

LOCATION

|
The Town of Huntsville, is one of six municipalities in Muskoka. This includes Bracebridge, Gravenhurst, the Townships of Georgian Bay, Lake of Bays, Muskoka Lakes, the Wahta Mohawk Territory and Moose Point 79. We are visited by 2.1 million people per year. There are 100,000 seasonal residents, 50,000 permanent residents many from the film, arts and cultural arenas. We have been known as a 'Summer Colony'. But demographics indicate this is changing with more people living and working here year round. Film North will extend the season through September by offering a venue for patrons to participate in world-class cinema away from large urban stresses. Adjacent to Algonquin Park's 7,630 sq. km. of lakeland forest, Huntsville's 700.9 sq.km. will continue to attract visitors to this northern oasis of paradise.
