Episode 0: What Is Ten Short Films?

In Episode Zero of the Ten Short Films Podcast, Tara and Charles introduce the story behind the Ten Short Films Festival — a nomadic Canadian festival born from Tara’s wish to screen her short film "Forget Me Not" for family and friends in honour of her grandmother.What began as one cinema screening in Kitchener soon travelled to Ottawa’s Mayfair Theatre, with curated programs, filmmaker Q&As, People’s Choice Awards, sidewalk awards ceremonies, and a growing dream: to bring short films to ten cinemas across Canada, then carry the winning films overseas.Charles and Tara discuss the festival’s origins, its love of documentaries, dramas, horror, French Canadian cinema, and the open invitation for filmmakers across Canada to submit bold, personal, memorable films.
