Screenings will take place in theatres across downtown, including Cineplex Eau Claire, Globe Cinema and Contemporary Calgary.
Outside the cinema, CIFF is hosting a variety of unique and immersive special experiences where guests can delve into the worlds of art, music, gaming and even virtual reality.

NOSFERATU with Live Score by Chad VanGaalen (performing as Black Mold)
To celebrate the 100th Anniversary of F.W. Murnau’s horror classic, CIFF joins forces with Calgary’s own Chad VanGaalen (performing as Black Mold) as he brings his unique sound to the Dome at Contemporary Calgary, where he’ll perform a live score to one of the most influential films from the silent era.
“This was the first horror movie that I saw in a theatre and it changed my idea of what horror was. This is a unique opportunity to transform a masterpiece of cinema and it’s a stroke of good luck for me to work alongside such evocative imagery,” said Chad VanGaalen.
