The Silver Wave Film Festival is an annual film festival, which takes place in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada.[1] Organized by the New Brunswick Film Cooperative, the festival programs a lineup of Canadian and international films, with a special but not exclusive focus on films made within the province of New Brunswick.[2]

The event was launched in 2001 as the Tidal Wave Film Festival, with screenings taking place at Tilley Hall on the University of New Brunswick campus.[3] It subsequently moved to the city's Charlotte Street Arts Centre as its primary venue, although the University of New Brunswick remains a sponsor of the event and still hosts some screenings. It changed its name to Silver Wave in 2005.[4]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, the 2020 festival was staged entirely online.[2]
