Short Film Programming
Canada’s Best
Friday April 3 at 1:00am (Canada, 111 Minutes, English)
What’s a film festival without short films! Filmmakers from across the country entered their works in our festival – and these are some of our favourites.
There’s everything from a silent film about umbrellas to a slick gangster caper. An animated film about …. life, to a tender portrait of living after loss. Enjoy a different way of seeing Canada from some of the country’s up and coming filmmakers.
Filmmakers in attendance! Stay after for a Q&A.
