Emily Gagne is a filmmaker, critic and programmer based in Toronto. The co-host of screening series We Really Like Her! (which sees her and Danita Steinberg present movies written and directed by women at the Revue Cinema), she is passionate about promoting marginalized films and filmmakers. Her taste in movies can be defined by what she deems the perfect triple bill: Halloween II, My Girl 2 and Magic Mike XXL.

In 2010, Emily founded Cinefilles, a blog for female film critics. From 2016 to 2017, she produced discussion-based screening series Reel Girl Talk for The MUFF Society, pairing Girl, Interrupted, 9 to 5 and Girlfight with panels on mental health, equity in the workplace, and women in sports.

In recent years, Emily has worked for Canadian Film Centre and Hollywood Suite, the latter for which she serves as the supervising producer of A Year in Film podcast and an expert on docuseries like Cinema A to Z. She is the curator of Instagram account Final Girl Fashion, which is also a column on Dread Central.

Best Friends Forever, her co-directorial debut alongside Josh Korngut, had its World Premiere at Salem Horror Fest in October 2019 and also screened at Toronto After Dark, Indie Memphis, Morbido, Panic Fest, Horror-Rama, Hexploitation, and the Chattanooga Film Festival.
