Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival

The 2022 edition of the Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival, the 34th edition in the event's history, took place from September 17 to 25, 2022 in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.[1] The lineup was announced on August 25.[2]

Similarly to the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, the event returned to primarily in-person screenings for the first time since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020,[3] although a selection of films was still offered for home viewing on a virtual platform.[4] Organizers indicated that they received an all-time record number of film submissions for inclusion in the festival.[3]

It was the last edition of the festival to be held under executive director Tammy Frick, who was appointed chief executive officer of the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television in October 2022.[5]
