Attend the 2025 Langley City Film Festival
Date: August 20, 2025
The City of Langley, Langley Arts Council, Langley Community Music School, and the Arts, Recreation, Culture and Heritage Committee are pleased to partner on the 2025 Langley City Film Festival.
This year’s festival will take place on Saturday, October 18, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at our new venue, the Langley Community Music School, located at 4899 207 Street, Langley.
“The purpose of the festival is to provide a platform for emerging and established B.C. filmmakers to showcase their original work in the City of Langley,” says Councillor Rosemary Wallace. “Now in its second year, we are thrilled to welcome submissions from new filmmakers and to build new partnerships as we continue to grow the festival.”
“This year’s festival will feature two film categories—Natural Environment and Emotion of Sound,” states Claire Sarfeld, Executive Director of the Langley Arts Council. “We received submissions from across British Columbia in both the under-19 and 19+ categories. Adjudicators had some tough decisions this year when reviwing the films in consideration for prize winning categories'.
The 2025 festival also welcomes three new adjudicators—Bailey Stead, Carlo Ghioni, and Ryan Tebbutt—who reviewed and evaluated the entries, placing applicants into prize categories. A total of five awards will be presented: $1,000 for Best Overall Film (19+), $750 for 1st Place (19+), $700 for 2nd Place (19+), $650 for Honorable Mention (19+), and $500 for Best Overall Youth Film (under 19).
In addition to competition screenings, the festival will feature four films presented in partnership with the National Film Board of Canada.
The full festival lineup will be announced in September.
