The Calgary International Film Festival (CIFF) is back! The festival is the largest film festival in Alberta and among the largest in Canada. As a major sponsor, Servus Credit Union is bringing the festival to the heart of Kensington on Monday, September 28, from noon to 9 p.m.

CIFF is hosting a free movie-making event in the outdoor plaza along Kensington Road for an interactive filmmaker experience.

Then, finish the experience with a photo keepsake to take home. Servus members will receive five bonus credits.
