The Edmonton Short Film Festival is bringing a specially curated selection of short films for you to enjoy. These short films by Alberta independent filmmakers offer a diverse range and encompass stories of the human spirit, stories that remind us of the human desire to explore and connect, stories that evoke feelings that reflect our search for information and influence our outlook on everyday life and bring us out of our daily routine and allow us to encounter new places, experiences and ideas.
