  • “This is the best festival for short filmmakers in all of Canada."

    Rebeccah Love | Filmmaker & FOFS Alumni

  • "Simply one of the best shorts festivals I've had the pleasure to screen at. Extremely well organized and a lot of fun!"

    Kyle Reaume | Filmmaker & FOFS Alumni

  • "Being offered such a major platform to present my work not only provided an incredible opportunity to connect with established industry professionals, but more importantly brought together an amazing community of emerging independent filmmakers from Toronto and the rest of Canada. No other festival in the city celebrates emerging cinema like FOFS"

    Devin Shears | Filmmaker & FOFS Alumni

  • "Having my film screen at FOFS proved to be an invaluable experience for the trajectory of my film “Greenhorn” and my career. I was lucky enough to receive the award for Best Screenwriting and with it came a pass to the Banff World Media Festival, of which I attended. It allowed me to be in the room with decision-makers and to attend informative talks about the Canadian Film & TV Industry."

    Sabrina Way | Filmmaker & FOFS Alumni

  • "A really, really wonderful festival that truly encourages diversity in youth voices."

    Callahan Bracken | Filmmaker & FOFS Alumni

  • "A key platform for the next wave of film and entertainment in Canada."

    Evan Goldberg | Filmmaker & FOFS 2021 Keynote Speaker
