The Ottawa International Film Festival (OIFF)[1] was an Ottawa-based, publicly attended film festival that held its first annual competition in 2010.[2] The festival ran annually for three days.[3] The festival screened shorts and feature-length films of any genre and of any country of origin.[4] The 2010 program yielded one full day of Canadian films and another day of international films.[5][6] Closely linked to local 72-hour film challenges, the Second Ottawa International Film Festival ran from August 17–21, 2011.[7] The 2011 program presented 24 short films and seven feature films, including three world premieres and one each of Canadian and Ottawa premieres.[8] The festival closed with a competition of locally produced music videos and bands. Hollywood producer Aaron Ryder had been linked to the festival and provided a Q + A after screening his films Donnie Darko and Memento in the August program.[9][10] Ottawa-based film A Violent State by director Adrian Langley was awarded the 2011 Lieutenant's Pump Award for Best Film.[11]

The festival was last staged in 2015.[12] In its place, a new International Film Festival of Ottawa (IFFO) was organized by the Canadian Film Institute to launch in 2020.[13]
