About

TELUS presents SHORTSNONSTOP, an exciting new initiative of the CFC Worldwide Short Film Festival.

SHORTSNONSTOP is a year-round online mobile film festival that you can experience anytime or anyplace. It is a showcase of short films produced for mobile and online platforms . The running time of films submitted to SHORTSNONSTOP cannot exceed more than three minutes.

The CFC Worldwide Short Film Festival has been presenting the best in short filmmaking from around the world for more than 13 years. SHORTSNONSTOP is a natural extension of this legacy – and thanks to TELUS, one of Canada’s leading mobile carriers, this festival will celebrate truly innovative short films produced for the third screen. All filmmakers and videomakers are encouraged to submit their work for consideration.

Unlike other film festivals, SHORTSNONSTOP is a year round festival that accepts entries on an ongoing basis, directly at its website – www.shortsnonstop.com.

After each prize deadline, 10 finalists will be selected by our programmers for promotion and distribution by TELUS on its mobile networks in Canada. Our esteemed Jury of industry professionals will select one filmmaker in each prize period to be awarded a cash prize of $1500.

The upcoming deadlines for the SHORTSNONSTOP submissions are July 15 2008, October 15 2008, January 15 2009 and April 15 2009.
