Watch the 2025 Digi60 AGM
On July 12, 2026, the Digi60 Filmmakers' Festival community came together for our 2025 Annual General Meeting to reflect on an exciting year of growth, celebrate the people who make our festival possible, and look ahead to everything that's to come.
The meeting highlighted another successful festival season, with record participation in the 60-Day Challenge, sold-out screenings, expanded year-round programming, and continued investments in mentorship and professional development for new and emerging filmmakers. We also shared updates on Digi60's strategic plan, which focuses on accessibility, equity, sustainability, and creating meaningful opportunities for filmmakers to learn, connect, and grow.
Members approved the organization's 2025 financial statements and celebrated the incredible contributions of our volunteers, seasonal staff, sponsors, partners, funders, and the filmmaking community that makes Digi60 such a welcoming and collaborative space.
One of the highlights of the AGM was recognizing Supreet Jaiswal as she steps into the role of Director of Equity Initiatives. Building on the work of those who have helped shape Digi60's commitment to inclusion over the years, Supreet will lead initiatives that foster belonging, expand opportunities, and further strengthen the diverse community that makes our festival so special. We're excited to support her in this important work.
The meeting also marked an emotional milestone as we celebrated Kevin Burton, who is stepping down as President after more than 20 years of leadership. Kevin's passion, generosity, and unwavering belief in emerging filmmakers helped build Digi60 into the community it is today. From creating opportunities for countless filmmakers to helping shape the festival's culture of mentorship and collaboration, his impact has been felt by so many people over the past two decades.
While Kevin is stepping away from his leadership role, we're grateful that this isn't goodbye. Like so many members of the Digi60 community, he'll continue to be part of the community he helped build, and we look forward to seeing him at future festivals for many years to come.
As we look ahead, we're excited about the momentum we've built together and the new voices helping guide Digi60 into its next chapter. Thank you to everyone who attended the AGM, and to everyone who volunteers, participates, creates, and supports our community throughout the year.
We'll see you at the 2026 Digi60 Filmmakers' Festival!
