About
The Calgary Justice Film Festival is a non-profit festival of documentaries about social, environmental and economic justice. Every screening is free to attend and is followed by lively audience discussions with filmmakers or topic experts. A Peace Market of local non-profits, NGOs and vendors runs alongside the festival.
It was founded in 2005 as the Marda Loop Justice Film Festival. As it grew beyond its neighbourhood roots, it officially changed its name to the Calgary Justice Film Festival in September 2021, and it was granted charitable status in 2025. It also runs justREEL, a year-round film series.
