Film Lives Here
Explore Hamilton's Vibrant Screen Industry at Supercrawl
Supercrawl is Hamilton’s ultimate street festival, igniting James Street North every September with massive crowds, electrifying performances, and bold showcases of art, music, fashion, and film.
This free three-day celebration draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to experience the city’s creative spirit at full throttle — and in 2025, the Hamilton Film Board is bringing the magic of the screen to the streets with our Film Lives Here booth.
From September 12–14, HFB will present Film Lives Here at Supercrawl — an interactive booth with:
Film in Action – Visitors can explore camera setups, lighting rigs, and grip gear, with on-site demos.
Meet the Creators – Guest panels and drop-in appearances by actors, directors, and technicians.
Community Screen Time – Short films, trailers, and reels from local creators.
Interactive Experiences – Red carpet and photo wall, contests, and hands-on opportunities.

Hamilton Film Festival 2025
HFB is proud to be a part of the 20th Anniversary of the Hamilton Film Festival
The Hamilton Film Festival is the city’s premier celebration of cinema, filling theatres every November with independent gems, international spotlights, and Hamilton-produced projects that showcase the city’s own creative spirit. Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025, the festival has become a cultural landmark — a place where homegrown talent shares the stage with international premieres, and audiences connect with filmmakers in unforgettable ways.
As a proud partner, the Hamilton Film Board is amplifying this milestone year by hosting industry panels, youth-focused programming, and showcases that put Hamilton’s creative community front and centre.
Together, we’re marking two decades of cinematic discovery while building the foundation for the next generation of storytellers.
Check back for updates as we get closer to the festival.
