Student Film Showcase

Official Website: www.tiffg.ca/studentfilmshowcase

The Student Film Showcase, a presentation of TIFF with the participation of the Film School Consortium, is an annual event showcasing the finest student films from universities and colleges across the country. Established in 2004, the Showcase has presented a diverse and exciting range of student work including animation, documentary, fiction and experimental films that represent the burgeoning talent of Canada's future generation of filmmakers.

Each year, the programme of student films are chosen by TIFF programmers. A jury comprised of film industry professionals selects award winners.

Films included in past Showcases have gone on to success, screening at other festivals including the Toronto International Film Festival® and Sprockets International Film Festival for Children. The Student Film Showcase fosters opportunities for student filmmakers from Film School Consortium schools to not only exhibit their work, but make important contacts and develop career enhancing relationships with peers and industry professionals.

Since its first year with a membership of eight Ontario schools, the Film School Consortium has steadily grown and now boasts fifteen member film schools from across several provinces.

The current member schools from which the programme is curated are:

Concordia University, Confederation College, Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning, Langara College and Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design, NSCAD University, Ontario College of Art & Design, Queen's University, Ryerson University, Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning, University of British Columbia, University of Regina, Capilano College, University of Toronto, York University.
