This festival is designed to showcase the best of student short films and screenplays. Plus, short films and screenplays from young artists under the age of 30.

Over the last 5 years, the FEEDBACK Festival has noticed a dramatic increase of quality in young artist's projects. So the time has come for a distinct showcase of the many amazing student films and screenplays from around the world.

Every SINGLE month, the festival will host a student screenplay reading series that will be performed by professional actors in Los Angeles and Toronto.

And every 2 months, the festival will host a “Best of Short Film” lineup using the popular FEEDBACK Festival format. The audience reaction video the student filmmaking team receives will help the film get into other festivals around the world.

Festivals take place the Revue LA LIVE Cinemas in downtown Toronto, and the Carlton cinemas in downtown Toronto.

Festivals occur 6 times a year in Toronto & Los Angeles. Go to the website for information on the next events.

This festival wants to show the future of cinema!
