The Ottawa International Film Festival (OIFF) [1] is an Ottawa-based, publicly-attended film festival that held its first annual competition in 2010.[2] The festival runs annually for five days at the end of August. The festival screens shorts and feature length films of any genre and of any country of origin.[3] The program for 2010 yielded one full day of Canadian films and another day of international films.[4][5] Closely linked to local 72 hour film challenges, the Second Ottawa International Film Festival ran from August 17 to August 21 2011.[6] The 2011 Program holds 24 shorts films and 7 feature films, including 3 World Premieres and 1 each of Canadian and Ottawa Premieres.[7] The festival closed with a competition of locally-produced music videos and bands. Hollywood producer Aaron Ryder has been linked to the festival and provided a Q + A after screening his films Donnie Darko and Memento in the August program.[8][9] Ottawa-based film A Violent State by director Adrian Langley was awarded the 2011 Lieutenant's Pump Award for Best Film.[10]
