IN 15 YEARS...
2019 celebrated the 15th Anniversary of the Windsor International Film Festival. There have been many accomplishments that WIFF has had over the past 15 years, but one we are always proud of is our product. We are thrilled that our programming has always succeeded. Here are some numbers from industry-leading award presenters that our past films have accumulated.
Named in honour of WIFF founder, Mark Boscariol, the 48-Hour FlickFest consists of a slate of short films shot and edited by local filmmakers and film lovers over one weekend. FlickFest is an intense, movie-making challenge. Supplied with a line of dialogue, a character trait and a prop, filmmakers are given 48 hours to submit their film. This is a juried competition with $1350 in prizes and the screening includes award presentations for 8 awards. This challenge is accessible to any individual that wants to test their inner filmmaker.
