The perspectives and approaches that are elevating short-form storytelling from around the world
This year marks the beginning of a combined Canadian and International Short Forum! Arranged according to complementary and contrasting flows of energy, mood, and spirit, individual films from across the world combine to form a whole that is ineffably more than the sum of its parts. Recurring themes of home, more-than-human relations, and the Anthropocene pass through the selection of 10 inimitable in-competition programs.
