News release: September 22, 2008

The National Screen Institute is now accepting films for its NSI Online Short Film Festival. Submit films for free by Friday, November 7, 2008 on DVD only. Print out the application form available online.

The NSI Online Short Film Festival is a quality, year-round, 100% Canadian online film festival showing around 100 short independent films each year. New films and filmmaker audio interviews are posted to the NSI website each week. All NSI website content can be accessed for free.

New films are solicited four times a year and must be short narratives not longer than 30 minutes. Drama, comedy, animation and short documentaries are all eligible but they must tell a story and must be Canadian. All film festival submissions will be screened by an NSI selection committee led by Liz Janzen, Director of Programming at NSI.

In addition to the NSI Online Short Film Festival, the NSI website also has an Online Industry Centre with professional development resources including blogs, industry articles and video and audio interviews with writers, directors, producers and actors from the film, television and digital media industries.

The NSI Online Industry Centre has been made possible in part through the support of Presenting Sponsor Telefilm Canada. We also gratefully acknowledge the ongoing financial contributions of our additional Founding Site Sponsors: Rogers, Canwest, Insight Film Studios and MANITOBA FILM & SOUND.
