Programmed by Jonni Peppers, this festival is artist-driven, audience-minded, and playful in its approach, with an awards ceremony taking place at the end of each iteration. For the Toronto screening, we are thrilled to announce Métis filmmaker Terril Lee Calder and animator Aaron Long will be joining us as our jurors! Be sure to place your vote for the audience choice awards. You don’t want to miss this fun marathon of an evening.
