Celebrating 12 years the Toronto Shorts International Film Festival is the largest short film festival in Canada.

Toronto Shorts is a non-profit organization that provides a showcase for the best short films and its creators from around the world, annually in the heart of Toronto.

We feel that short-form cinema and its creators should have their own premier film festival in Toronto deserving similar recognition given to the feature film and its creators.

Toronto Shorts is where films from all genres intersect. The heart of the festival is the quality and scope of extraordinary film programming which consists of a wide spectrum of categories from high to low budget films under 45 minutes.

The festival has become a career stepping stone, establishing a tradition of discovering and promoting filmmakers who have gone on to be Academy Awards Nominees, including :

2021 Oscar Nominee 'The Present' by Farah Nabulsi
2019 Oscar Nominee ‘Weekends’ by Trevor Jimenez
2018 Oscar Nominees 'Watu Wote - All of Us' (Germany) and 'The Eleven O'Clock' (Australia)

Toronto stands as the largest media market in Canada, it boasts the world-renowned Royal Ontario Museum, the massive Art Gallery of Ontario, the Soulpepper Theatre Company, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and now includes a premier international short film festival.

We showcase the best short films and its filmmakers from around the world.

The deadline to register for the XXIII International Short Film Festival “El Pecado 2024” is open. This year we increased the amount of the prizes: 1,500 euros for the winning fiction short film and 700 euros for the other four main prizes. The deadline to register is from Monday, April 8 to Friday, May 31 of this year. The duration will not exceed 20 minutes (21 including credits).

Awards for short films of animation, fiction, humor and made in Extremadura. We also have a public award.

The first Howling Wolf International Film Festival (HWIFF) will be held in September 2017.

The Howling Wolf Film Festival is based in Glasgow, Scotland and is a film festival without a cinema, screening films in unusual venues throughout Glasgow.

Affectionately known as the Cinema City, Glasgow was home to more cinemas per person than anywhere else in the UK back in the 1930s. We took films very seriously, We still do thats why Glasgow has a cinema in the guiness book of world records as the tallest cinema in the world (203 feet).

The HWIFF will screen a range of films and all genres-fiction, documentary, animation, artists film and video, silent film, archive film etc. You film it, we show it.

We're looking for WEIRD, WILD, RIDICULOUS and OUTRAGEOUS short films.

We love Low Budget and No Budget short films. But we also love polished films, We want a mix of everything.

As an international event, we welcome submissions from all corners of the world and films produced in Scotland are eligible to apply to our Scottish category.

The HOWLING WOLF FESTIVAL was started by filmmakers who realized many festivals were only programming films with big budgets and big name stars attached, So we started our own festival, for new and undiscovered indie filmmakers with low budget short films.

This is our first year, so we dont have fancy Sponsors and big theatres supporting us,
It is just us and we need YOU to help us support
YOU!.

Together we can put on an amazing festival!

Only for Spanish filmmakers.

What's the DIFF?

... It's the DaVinci International Film Festival (DIFF), but also one of the biggest question filmmakers will ask themselves as they browse and filter through dozens, if not hundreds of online film festivals — what makes DIFF unique from the others?

Leonardo da Vinci was the epitome of the divergent and creative mind, and so we aim to recognize much of the same within our industry.

Like many online festivals, we set out to honor the best in independent cinema from around the world, and have expanded our Award Categories to recognize many below-the-liners who largely go unnoticed and unrewarded. We seek the unsung heroes here at DaVinci. From best in editing, color correction, sound design, to theatrical creative and P&A; at DIFF, we shine the light on many of those who work silently, yet play an important role in getting your project to this very stage.

DIFF founders are intimately familiar with, and appreciate the full cycle of, independent filmmaking and the demands therein. From perils of financing, through the distribution of any given work — the process is often complex and unforgiving. Most of these creative projects can take a short lifetime to complete, and whether or not your work is ‘accepted’ at DIFF, we wish to congratulate and encourage you to keep pressing forward.

Another standout at DIFF, is that we are now offering development Options for our top three unscripted competition winners (per category), which will afford them an amazing opportunity to put their projects in front of networks and industry decision-makers.

FESTIVAL FORMAT

DIFF hosts a QUARTERLY online festival series for all of our categories. Winners of the "Vitruvian Man" Award will be invited to our Live Showcase Event at the end of the calendar year, and their shot at "The Leo" Award -- our most prized commendation. Films will screen at our red carpet event for family, friends, and industry professionals, followed by filmmaker Q&A and an After Party, where our sponsors will present "The Leo" to our winner.

Thank you for your submission.
