2021 Festival du nouveau cinéma

The 2021 edition of the Festival du nouveau cinéma, the 50th edition in the event's history, took place from October 6 to 17, 2021 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec, it was staged as a hybrid event, with a mixture of in-person and online screenings; although the festival officially concluded on October 17, the online platform remained open until October 31.

The festival opened with the film Bootlegger by Caroline Monnet, and closed with Félix Dufour-Laperrière's film Archipelago (Archipel). Marking the 50th anniversary of the festival, Bootlegger was also paired with 50 temps, a short documentary film about the festival by Luc Bourdon.
