What can you expect?

Seeking to elevate our local film community, our adjudicators will choose captivating short films by Alberta filmmakers to screen at the 2026 Edmonton Short Film Festival!

Make your appearance at the gala and prepare to be taken aback by the unparalleled quality and diversity you’ll see on the screen. Categories range from comedy to drama, from horror to documentary,  commercials, music videos to the social justice category, and everything in between. In the end, your vote will help crown a winner for the People’s Choice Award. 

Your GALA ticket will give you selected films by Alberta filmmakers  and the Long Shorts ticket additional films up to 30 minutes in length from filmmakers from all over the world!   Combo Tickets are also available for both events at a special discounted price..

In 2026, we will once again be uploading all films to our FavaTV platform. Short films by Albertan filmmakers selected for the  Edmonton Short Film Festival and the Long Shorts selections will all be available for online viewing.
