WELCOME FILM MAKERS AND FILM LOVERS!

The Edmonton Short Film Festival (ESFF) showcases Alberta filmmakers outside of the “normal” festival market and features diverse projects (newly created or “dusted off” favourites) including: trailers, music videos, web series, commercials, short films … as long as it’s less than 15 minutes, we’ll accept it! The ESFF is dedicated to the elevation of Alberta Independent film and the local film community

With the conclusion of the Red Carpet Gala on October 13, 2018, all of this year’s events are now complete! Film submissions will re-open on May 1, 2019. 

The ESFF is growing by leaps and bounds and is now in search of an Executive Director. This is a paid position and the ideal candidate will have skills in event planning and marketing and have a passion for film. If you are interested in the position of Executive Director please send your CV and resume to filmfest@esff.ca.  Executive Director Description
