The Future of Film Showcase

The Future of Film Showcase (FOFS) is a Canadian not-for-profit media arts organization presenting short films and debut feature films from emerging Canadian Filmmakers, while at a crucial stage in their emergence as an artist and storyteller. FOFS elevates work by women, BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, and other emerging creatives from traditionally marginalized communities, and fosters the future of Canadian film by providing burgeoning artists and filmmakers with professional development opportunities, as well as a national platform through an annual film festival.

FOFS 2023 will be a hybrid festival of virtual and in-person screenings. All government protocols will be strictly observed.

Award winners filmmakers at the Festival will be offered a broadcast deal with CBC Gem should their film be invited to screen at the Future of Film Showcase.

The Future of Film Showcase is a qualifying festival by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television.
