Canada’s creative teens will be taking over the TIFF Bell Lightbox this weekend, as the third annual TIFF Next Wave Film Festival kicks off on February 14.
Targeted for young movie lovers, the TIFF Next Wave Film Festival (February 14-16) is directed by a committee made up of 12 youth dedicated to bringing quality film programming and film-related events to kids across the city.
The purpose of this showcase is to provide young filmmakers with the opportunity to see their work on the big screen, and engage with the world of filmmaking in a whole new way.
The third annual TIFF Next Wave Film Festival celebrates the best in film with screenings, special guests, interactive workshops and a 24-Hour Film Challenge for young filmmakers.
Select screenings are accompanied by Q&A sessions with directors and special guests. Click here to see this year’s impressive line-up of films.
Brand new this year, the TIFF Next Wave Film Festival Mural will allow youth from across the city to answer the question, “What film inspires you?” Answers can be tagged with #TIFFNextWave on Twitter, Instagram,or Tumblr. The person with the best answer will win tickets to the TIFF Next Wave-tagged film during the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. The mural will be showcased at the TIFF Bell Lightbox.
