Impact Film Festival (IFF) 2026 - Festival & Dinner at Apollo Cinema

We are excited to invite you to attend the 5th annual Impact Film Festival (IFF). The festival celebrates inspiring social ventures and philanthropic organizations by screening a curated list of short films.

The event will take place at the Apollo Cinema in Kitchener on November 12th and will begin at 6 pm with a Champion's Dinner hosted at the space of the Apollo Theatre. At 7:00 pm, we'll begin our film festival, also at the Apollo Theatre.

You are welcome to join us for dinner and the films or just for the film festival!

For those who are unable to join in-person, we'll be hosting a YouTube Livestream event of the film festival (link will be sent in an event reminder email closer to the event date).

If you'd like to make a donation to SWSV and you don't require a charitable tax receipt, the Eventbrite registration has an option to donate to the project. If you prefer a tax receipt, you can donate to SWSV right now through Canada Helps *See below details on how to donate for a tax receipt* and then return to continue your registration for the event.

For reference, over the course of a year, a donation of $10/month helps a family in East Africa purchase a water purifier that will provide safe drinking water for up to 25 years (and save that family about $1,000 in costs treating water related illnesses).

See you at the Impact Film Festival 2026 on November 12!
