Organizer PENDANCE FILM FESTIVAL
Organizer of THROUGH HER EYES | SHORT SCREENING | PENDANCE
Pendance is an independent film festival supported by a bevy of great sponsors and key artists in the Canadian film community. We exist to give a serious platform to innovative storytellers and to spark a new love affair with cinema among modern audiences starving for truth and meaning on the big screen. Our slogan ‘Story Over Everything’ effectively sums up our event in eight syllables.
The festival was founded by composer Andjelika Javorina & director Robert Misovic in 2017. The festival has seen a rapid rise as one of the world's most tightly-curated film festivals, home to 37 Canadian premieres in 2019.
