HIFF DAILIES — DAY FOUR
The fourth and final day of HIFF 2023 is here! It's been a genuine pleasure gathering in the Light House Arts Centre, discovering films and celebrating this wonderful community with you. Many thanks to everyone who joined us for HIFF this year, and a special shoutout to our engaging and inspiring visiting filmmakers, who took part in every conceivable element of this year's fest and made HIFF 2023 something special.
But we aren't done yet! We've got a jam-packed final day that includes an Artist Talk with Halifax film legend James MacSwain, our annual Canadian shorts program, and a triple feature of some of the most celebrated new films to come out of the fest circuit. Beat the heat with us downtown and check out these unforgettable new works!
You can see them all with a HIFF Festival Pass ($40/$30 for AFCOOP members) or catch films with single tickets for $14 ($12 for AFCOOP members). Click the film listings below to purchase single tickets. All screenings are FREE for students (with a valid student ID)!

DAY FOUR SCHEDULE
JUNE 24
HIFF TIPS
• Picking up your pass: HIFF passholders can pick up their passes at the box office in the lobby of the Light House Arts Centre on your way into your first screening. They'll be available for pick-up for the duration of the fest.
• Bring layers: It looks like we'll have a heat wave on our hands for most if not all of HIFF, but we won't know it in the Light House Arts Centre thanks to the ice-cold A/C. Consider bringing a sweater to navigate the temp changes comfortably.
• Plains vs. The Plains: HIFF 2023 includes screenings of two features whose titles are separated only by a definite article, but the resemblance ends there. Plains is the docufiction debut of Romanne Walker, which follows a couple seeking a better world through technology on Nova Scotia's South Shore. It capped off our opening night screenings on June 21 at 9 p.m. The Plains is the wildly ambitious slow-cinema feature from Australian filmmaker David Easteal, following the increasingly intimate kinship between two commuters on Melbourne's Monash Freeway. It screens today, Saturday, June 24 at 3 p.m.
• Artist Talks: While our post-screening Q+As give us a chance to hear from filmmakers immediately after seeing their work, our series of Artist Talks allow us to sit down with filmmakers in an intimate setting and go in-depth on their artistic journeys and processes. Plus, admission is totally FREE. Don't miss this opportunity to chat directly with some of the most exciting new voices in cinema.
