The winners of Toronto International Short Film Awards

The Toronto Short Film Awards is a prestigious international competition, and an eagerly anticipated annual screening event held at the renowned Innis Town Hall theatre, along with various art centers located in the vibrant downtown area of Toronto. This event serves as a significant platform for filmmakers, distributors, agents, critics, and artists, not only from Toronto but from all corners of the globe, to come together to celebrate the art of short filmmaking. The festival committee actively invites these diverse participants to join in on the festival's screenings and to become integral members of the jury team.



Their collective goal is to discover, promote, and showcase the finest short films spanning a wide array of genres, representing the rich tapestry of creativity from Canada and beyond. The festival adopts a hybrid format that combines seasonal competitions with annual screenings, allowing short filmmakers and artists from around the world to gain exposure and recognition for their work.
