August 22, This Year is a Canadian short drama film, directed by Graham Foy and released in 2020. The film centres on a group of people who are preparing for the end of the world on August 22.[1]

The cast includes Beatrice Creen, Asia-Milan Geness, Elisa Gilmour, Brendan Ko, Uri Livne-Bar, Robert Nasmith, Ben Petrie, Paul Thompson and Mel Wright.

The film was named as an official selection of the International Critics' Week section at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival.[2] Although the festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in France, it was screened in late October as part of Festival Scope's special online presentation of the Critics' Week short films.[3] It had its actual theatrical premiere in September at the 2020 Vancouver International Film Festival,[4] and was later screened at the 2020 New York Film Festival[1] and the 2020 Festival du nouveau cinéma.[5]
