Niagara Falls International Short Festival is a seasonal short film festival that is held in the beautiful Niagara Falls. Niagara is valued not only for its waterfall, but also for its beautiful inns, hotels, restaurants and tourist destinations such as its wineries. Filmmakers and artists have been attracted to Niagara Falls and have used its potentials as a setting for their films. Niagara Falls has been used as background in numerous feature films, including the famous Marilyn Monroe film, titled Niagara (1953), and Superman and Pirates of the Caribbean, to name a few. The spectacular natural scenery of Niagara Falls have always given an extra layer of beauty to films shown on the silver screen and we hope to use these infrastructures to offer you a very beautiful festival’s experiences.
The next edition of the festival will be held in late March, 2021. If you have a film ready to be submitted, you can send your film to us before the winter deadline, which is March 15, 2021. It is worth noting that due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the next edition of the festival will be online.
