People always commend our features programming, not realizing it's basically been a one-woman department for 4 years straight.

World Premieres, Canadian Premieres, Pendance has programmed some of the coolest indie gems internationally every year.

It starts with an open-minded approach...open to genres, languages and projects of different scales and budgets.

From docs like Pahokee, arthouse gems like Family Romance LLC, Pratfall, and L'Incidente, comedies like Sweet Disaster and Straight Up and horror films like Koko Di Koko Da and My Heart Can't Beat Unless you Tell it to.

Pendance has featured some incredible gritty Indies like Anchorage, Lorelei and $$$, master works like Saint Frances, The Last Tree, The Wall of Mexico, Dinner in America and Paper Spiders, and even a pair of beautiful musicals in The Grande Bolero and The Cafe of My Memories...

From debut features like Excursion to third and fourth features like Luzifer, across languages and genres, Pendance maintains that it's #StoryOverEverything... over everything.
