CFC FEATURES

Since its inception, CFC Features* has helped launch the careers of more than 100 talented Canadian filmmakers, has executive produced 25 films, and supported the development of more than 50 films. Most recently, Summer With Hope, the critically acclaimed and award-winning sophomore feature from Sadaf Foroughi, was supported through the program.

Loosely inspired by Anton Chekhov's play, The Seagull, Summer With Hope follows two young swimmers whose close alliance provokes disapproval from the people around them in a small town in Iran. It is the 26th feature produced by CFC Features. It had its world premiere at the 2022 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, where it won the Grand Prix - the Crystal Globe for Best Feature Film. It went on to play multiple festivals, including TIFF Next Wave, and had its digital release on Crave in April 2023.
