Toronto International Short Film Awards

The mission of the Toronto International Short Film Awards is to support, screen, acknowledge, and honor short filmmakers across various genres worldwide. Our main objective is to offer a significant stage for talented short filmmakers to exhibit their creations in Toronto and gain the recognition they deserve.

During our short film awards ceremony at the Innis Town Hall Theatre, we emphasize celebrating filmmakers who exhibit outstanding creativity in their artistry. Furthermore, receiving recognition from the Toronto International Short Film Awards can greatly influence a filmmaker's professional path. Participating in our festival screenings and receiving awards can lead to new chances, boost exposure, and expand the reach and distribution of international short films and artists in the competitive festival scene.

The Toronto International Short Film Awards stands as a source of encouragement and appreciation for short filmmakers, nurturing a community that cherishes creativity, innovation, and artistic excellence in independent short filmmaking. Our goal is to raise the profile of short filmmaking and showcase the varied voices and stories that enhance the world of cinema.
