Celebrating Canadian Screen Talent & Inspiring the Next Generation.
We are currently finalizing our 2026 roster of acclaimed Canadian talent.
The Forest City Film Festival is proud to present the Speaker Series, an intimate, in-person program dedicated to celebrating the Canadian talent whose work has shaped the global landscape of contemporary film and television.
Hosted in the heart of downtown London at the Wolf Performance Hall, this series offers filmmakers, students, and cinephiles a rare opportunity to hear directly from the actors, directors, and writers who are leading the industry today.
Each session is a curated one-on-one conversation designed to pull back the curtain on a high-level creative career. These aren’t just interviews; they are deep dives into the stories behind the names you know and the projects you love.
The Speaker Series is designed for anyone fascinated by the power of storytelling. Whether you are an emerging filmmaker looking for mentorship, a student seeking a professional roadmap, or a movie-goer eager to hear from the artists behind your favorite films, this series offers a front-row seat to the best of Canadian cinema.
