GeekFestToronto Is Films, Docs and Talks on Everything Geeks Love ❤️

ComicBooks. FanFiction. Animation. Gaming. Weird History. DC and Marvel Universe. Science. Physics. Tech. Cosplay. Astronomy and More!

Originally we only went *LIVE* for 1 Day out of the Year. Valentines Day.
Now, GeekFestToronto is a 3 Day Online Festival of Films, Docs and Talks on Everything Geeks Need. We are the alternative Valentines Day and Show Appreciation for What We Love to Talk About or Learn About.

Since Covid19, we have embraced the Online World and Now Talk to 99% of our Filmmakers, Actors, Actresses, Editors and Film Teams Around The World through Stimulating Post Film Premiere Q&As via Zoom.

>>Our Awards Are REAL - And Personalized. Not just a Printed Certificate
Our Awards Are Voted On By Judges, Programmers + The Viewing Audience<<

Have you ever seen a a film that was DNA code set to music...? We have. Have you ever seen a documentary where puppets race radio controlled cars...? We have. Have you ever been on Reddit or hooked on Ingress. We have. We are.

So that's what GeekFestToronto is all about. A celebration for people like us who know who we are and how neat it is to be either a Nerd or a Geek or in love with Science .

We don't need a bushy beard to let the world know who we are. We just need maybe the latest Gadget, Innovation, Gamer craze, a Weird Topic and a Film or Documentary we can relate to. And friends who relate to us.

So let's see those Films, Documentaries, Talks and Demos Today!

    Fun, online film festival with friendly people. Both hosts and guests were great! Also, the most bizarre Lynchian award show we've attended in a good way!

    Keep up the good work!

    This festival was super fun to be a part of again. The team was very accommodating and made us filmmakers feel very involved with the Q&As and awards ceremony. Had such a good time, looking forward to the next one.

    It was a wonderful experience to participate in this festival! Specially because there are not so many festivals that accept fanfilms and Geek Fest Toronto not just accepted my fanfilm, they gave it the best welcoming possible and included it between lots of different amazing short films in a series of fantastic online screenings! Hoping to participate soon in the future!
