The NFB at the 2026 Quebec City Film Festival. Strong showing by Quebec City–based filmmakers, with two short films in official competition and a feature film that blends documentary and visual art.

The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) is set to participate in the 2026 Quebec City Film Festival (FCVQ) with three films officially selected for competition. This includes two short films and one feature film, showcasing a blend of documentary and visual art.

Two of the featured filmmakers have significant connections to Quebec City. Catherine Lepage, a director of one of the short films, was born and raised in the city. Martin Bureau, who directed the other short film, has been a resident and professional in Quebec City for several years.

This strong local representation highlights the NFB's commitment to supporting Canadian talent and regional artistic communities. The festival provides a platform for these works to gain national and international recognition.

For professionals in media, arts, or cultural policy, this event signifies ongoing government support for Canadian film production and cultural institutions like the NFB. It also emphasizes the importance of film festivals in promoting Canadian storytelling and artistic expression.
