The University of Canberra was the initiator of the Canberra International Film Festival.[2] For each Festival from 1996 until 2001, either through its Convocation or directly, the university provided the artistic direction, and was also the promoter, manager and underwriter of the festival.[3]
In 2002, as part of a comprehensive plan to restructure the Canberra International Film Festival and secure its future, ownership was transferred to an Incorporated Association. The Canberra International Film Festival is a not-for-profit organisation supported by local and federal government, corporate sponsors and cultural partners.
