Worldwide Short Film Festival (May 31st to June 5th)

Canada’s biggest short film festival starts today with several highly anticipated movies playing. The CFC Worldwide Short Film Festival (WSFF), presented by TELUS, is the premier venue for the exhibition and promotion of short film in North America. Going on now till the 5th June, the WSFF celebrates the quality and creative range of short films. They have annual submissions that surpass 4000, expert programmers specially select 250 shorts from more than 80 countries for five days of public screenings.

Go check them out! They say "short is better" :)

Catch a Hot Doc for free!

So Hot Docs [the Canadian International Documentary Festival] is now on  until May 8th and I think you should try to check it out this year! The ticket prices are awesome plus maybe you could even catch some for free and or low cost! This is how you can pull it off;

 

Watch for Free

They offer FREE same day tickets for daytime screenings (screenings beginning prior to 6 pm) to students (with valid I.D.) and Seniors (60+). Tickets are available at the screening venue on the day of the screening, subject to availability.

Watch a Late Night for a Low Cost

They also offer Late Night screenings (after 11 pm) for just $5 throughout the festival. Tickets for $5 late-night screenings are available at the documentary Box Office or at the screening venue's box office on the day of the screening. Alternatively you can buy an All-You-Can-Eat Late Night Pass for just $10 and see all of the Late Night films for just over $1 per film!

Some of my picks this year;

• Recessionize! For Fun and Profit!
• Fly
• Wiebos War
• Housing
• Superheroes
