2012 Worldwide Short Film Festival, June 5-10


The 18th annual CFC Worldwide Short Film Festival officially gets under way tonight with a gala screening of award-winning shorts from around the world. The screening starts at 7pm at the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema and includes Luminaris, Dripped, Armadingen, Grandmothers, Trotteur, The Fisherman and The Elaborate End Of Robert Ebb. If you miss this screening tonight, it repeats on Sunday night at 9:30pm.

The festival continues to Sunday with a wide range of screenings featuring 244 films from 35 countries. 207 of the films are premieres, including 38 World Premieres. Screenings take place at the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema and the Isabel Bader Theatre as well as special screenings at the CN Tower and at The Garrison.

For filmmakers, the Symposium is an invaluable opportunity to learn from industry professionals and insiders. It is also a superb opportunity to network with fellow filmmakers and potential collaborators. One of the highlights of the excellent industry program is a master class by Quebec director Jean-Marc Vallée (C.R.A.Z.Y., The Young Victoria, Café de Flore).
