/REPEAT Film Festival Extends Admission Dealine

Wednesday, April 2, 2008

Various websites are reporting this so we thought we'd jump on the bandwagon, especially since the Film School at the New York Film Academy is a contributing sponsor to the Toronto Student Film Festival.

Toronto Student Film Festival organizers announced an official extension to its entry deadline, due to unprecedented demand this week. High school students now have until Friday, April 4 to submit their short films; entry is FREE.

The TSFF is entirely focused on youth achievement in media arts. Since its inception in 2006, this prestigious festival has received hundreds of submissions from Canada and around the world, giving students a voice to tell their stories. Open to youth 21 & under, the festival features shorts across a range of genres: documentary, drama, animation, comedy, etc. Full details at www.tsff.com.

Prizes include a 4 day CTV "internship," $1,500 tuition to a New York Film Academy Digital Filmmaking Workshop, Motorola RAZR2 media phones, numerous cash awards, on-line feature on the "CitizenShift" web site, Canada's own on-line media community for social change --- plus other film-related prizes.

For 2008, the festival will be on one night only --- Saturday, April 26.

TSFF premiered in Spring, 2006, playing to sell-out crowds and gaining widespread support from the film and educational communities.

Some of Canada's leading arts organizations are involved, including CTV, CitizenShift/National Film Board, the Worldwide Short Film Festival/Canadian Film Centre, Epitome Pictures, and the New York Film Academy. Scotiabank is the lead sponsor.
