8th Edition of Toronto Indie Shorts

Toronto Indie Shorts is a seasonal program which was founded a few years ago by a group of film graduates from York University of Toronto. The festival invites film critics, artists and filmmakers to vote for the best of each season from Canada and all over the world. The festival committee also offers to promote and screen the award winners of the festival privately and publicly upon request in its online event. The 8th edition of the festival brings talented artists from all over the globe in order to compete in various categories of the award event. It is with great pleasure for us to announce the latest winners of the festival.
