Highlighting the world-class epicurean wonders of Niagara, NIFF will take full advantage of its unique location with two special programs. Film Feast is a gourmet wine tour meets short film festival mash-up where fine wines and hors d’oeuvres are enjoyed with a short film from Canada’s Not Short on Talent program. Filmalicious is a sublime dinner and a movie experience, where guests will enjoy a luscious three-course-meal, accompanied by a top selection of wines, and finished off with a stellar feature film, at one of the Region’s top wineries.
At the same time, NIFF aims to shine a cinematic spotlight not only on Niagara’s extraordinary beauty, but also on the remarkable talent that comes from this part of Canada. In Niagara Rises, a special program showcasing home-grown Niagara filmmakers, St. Catharines' own Mike Enns kicks it off with the world premiere of Restrung, NIFF's opening night film.
FILMALICIOUS
Filmalicious is a spectacular “dinner and a movie” event hosted at some of the Niagara Wine Region’s most fabulous vineyards. Each vineyard presents a sumptuous dinner with wine pairings from some of Canada’s most talented chefs.
Afterwards the movie screen comes out for the feature presentation – a film or films from some of our programs such as: Niagara Rises and Unearthed Treasures. In each case we have done our best to provide you with a guest speaker or other entertainment related to the film’s subject.
Many evenings offer the opportunity to partake of the whole Filmalicious experience with dinner and screening ($125-$175 per person), or to arrive later for just the screening and presentation ($25).
Our first block of Filmalicious screenings is now on sale
Tickets can be purchased online on this site or by phone 1-800-656-0713
