Shorts
As always, there’s nothing small about MIFF’s Shorts – this year we feature 10 programs of short film, in addition to three special collections focusing on the works of Peter Tscherkassky and Eve Heller.
In addition to the regular Shorts weekend program of fiction, animation, documentary and experimental short film, and the constantly excellent Accelerator screenings, this year MIFF also features O Canada!, a selection of shorts from far-north America, and Misfits, an offbeat collection of eccentric tales.
There are also an assortment of shorts that are screening before selected features, rather than appearing in a shorts program. See Shorts showing before features for more details on these shorts.
