2014 marks the ninth year for The Vancouver Island Short Film Festival! The Festival continues to celebrate the best works of short filmmakers from Vancouver Island and beyond.

Sponsored by the Nanaimo Arts Council, the Festival debuted in 2006 and held a sold out screening of short films by local filmmakers at the Nanaimo Entertainment Centre.

There are many feature film festivals on Vancouver Island, but none that specifically serve short filmmakers. Many of our entries feature local actors, writers, directors, musicians and film technicians. The 2014 Festival will showcase amazing short films in a multitude of genres and styles February at the Vancouver Island University Theatre

The Vancouver Island Short Film Festival creates opportunities for local filmmakers, not only to screen their films, but to network with other film professionals and inspire growth in our film community.
