Vision and Goals

Youth culture is bursting with creativity and energy, and now, more than ever, young people are exploring their world through the lens of a camera. Enrollment in media arts courses continues to grow and the proliferation of multi-media and film expression on the internet has exploded.

The Toronto Student Film Festival was created to celebrate, support and inspire our youth and their artistic expression via short film. Since its inception in 2006, the Toronto Student Film Festival has received hundreds of entries from students around the world --- a true testament to its goal of promoting youth expression through film.

TSFF aims to:

Promote student expression and artistic development of multi-media skills through film-making, on issues and topics of interest to youth and without interference.

Provide a venue for young film-makers to screen their work and interact with industry professionals.

Stimulate student confidence and innovation through official recognition of their artistic achievements.
