Toronto Shorts International Film Festival is the largest short film festival in Canada. Toronto Shorts provides a showcase for the best short-form cinema and its creators in the world, held 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. The heart of the festival will be our quality and scope of extraordinary film programming.

Over the last seven years 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: 2018 Oscar Nominees "Watu Wote - All of Us" (Germany ) and "The Eleven O'Clock" (Australia).

The 2019 Oscar nominee ‘Weekends’ directed by Trevor Jimenez, was awarded the 2018 Best Animation at Toronto Shorts International Film Festival.
