Durham Region International Film Festival (DRIFF) presents a series of three drive-in events called Shifting the Narrative that focuses on Canadian identity in storytelling and culture. We have bridged the gap between experienced and emerging filmmakers by selecting three dynamic filmmakers that have made a mark nationwide through their feature films. Each feature filmmaker will select a short film by a promising up-and-coming filmmaker to screen prior to the feature presentation.
Tickets to each event will be $20 per vehicle.
Vehicle can seat as many people as seatbelts available.
No dogs.
No entry after the "latest arrival time" stated on your ticket
