DiverCITY Film Festival

March 21 - 24

DiverCITY Film Festival kicks off its second annual festival dedicated to showcasing indie films and content in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

The festival provides a unique opportunity for independent filmmakers hailing from the Ottawa region to showcase their exceptional talent and creative expressions and capture the essence of our beautiful city and its rich cultural tapestry.

The ODFF aims to support established and emerging artists to showcase a wider range of stories and storytelling. The ODFF is committed to serving as a vital channel for our city’s diverse talent, in front of and behind the camera, and presenting them to a broader audience.

About DARC's Events

Digital Arts Resource Centre (formerly SAW Video) is a not-for-profit, artist-run media art centre that fosters the growth and development of artists through access to equipment, training, mentorship, and programming. Our mission is to support a diverse community of media artists empowered by technology, programming and the exchange of ideas.

Our core principles are independence of expression, affordable access to all, and paying artists for their work. Digital Arts Resource Centre values diversity and actively promotes equity for all artists regardless of race, age, class, gender, sexual orientation, language, or ability.

We acknowledge that Digital Arts Resource Centre is located on land that is part of the unceded and unsurrendered Traditional Territory of the Algonquin people. We honour the Algonquin people and elders, whose ancestors have occupied this territory since time immemorial, and whose culture has nurtured and continues to nurture this land and its people.
