The Winnipeg Real to Reel Film Festival (WR2R) features cool, clean, and compelling feature films, documentaries and shorts from around the world in a multi-theatre style format. We are thrilled to meet together in person.
The purpose of the Winnipeg Real to Reel Film Festival is to connect filmmakers with audiences through visual media that encourages, challenges and inspires to pursue positive values and to a greater understanding of the human journey.
This year’s festival offers 36 films. Gate attendance at last year's festival exceeded 3,000. We are grateful that you have taken the time to join us. On behalf of the many volunteers and filmmakers, we welcome you and hope you have an excellent experience at the 14th annual Winnipeg Real to Reel Film Festival.
