History of the Festival
The YoungCuts Film Festival is North America's only international film festival whose primary purpose is to advance the careers of young filmmakers. We showcase the best emerging filmmaking talent from student film makers and non-student film makers alike. The Festival features all types of short films produced by filmmakers 29 years old and under, and was created to help launch talented young people's film and television careers, by providing exposure and recognition of their works.
YoungCuts' first festival was held in Toronto in 2001. In 2006, the Festival moved to Montreal. Interest in the Festival has grown dramatically since its inception, and the Festival is now the largest of its kind in the world. In its current format, annually the festival chooses the best 100 films from approximately 1,000 films that are submitted from more than 30 countries. Sponsors have included Pepsi, American Airlines and Air Canada.
In addition to the broad-based participation by young North American filmmakers, actors and actresses, the Festival encourages participation from young filmmakers around the world. The 2012 edition will be held in Montreal beginning September 26, 2013. Submission and selection criteria are available HERE.

YoungCuts Film Festival is the Premiere Showcase of Great Short Films by the World's Best Young Filmmakers.
The Festival features short films under 30 minutes long produced by emerging filmmakers under 30 years old and serves as a launch pad for filmmaker careers, providing exposure and recognition for some of the most exciting new talent from around the globe - student film makers and non- student film makers alike.
Established in 2001, every year, the festival selects its Top 100 International Short Films from more than a thousand films from over 30 countries.
Unlike many film festivals, YoungCuts is not a black box. For filmmakers making paid submissions, we offer feedback when and where appropriate; we present their short films to our film industry partners including producers, distributors and programmers - this has led to short films being presented on TV, licensed for outdoor festivals and programmed by other film festivals who view us an expert on short films by young filmmakers. With your paid submission, you also gain privileged access to watch, vote and be inspired by great short films from young filmmakers around the world.
