Toronto - Lets face it, those of us who have desk jobs and frequently browse websites during the course of the day - we have ADD. Our attention spans have changed to the point where we get bored within mere minutes and move on to the next topic. This is why the Worldwide Short Film festival is perfect for our generation. It’s short, its crisp, and before you know it, it’s over. Perfectly satisfied and never boring (hopefully), these films represent ideas and concepts from people all around the world. Sadly, it’s squished between NXNE, Taste of Italy, MMVAs and a host of other activities, so it will probably be ignored by the mainstream mass, but imagine the ooohs and ahhs you’ll get saying you went to a film festival (or any sort). You’ll sound all cultured and shit.

So here are some nights that I think would be fancy. The way the short film festival works is that each viewing is about an hour and a half, and you’ll see a bunch of shorts, rather then one. I guess that’s the only way it’d work, otherwise you might go sit down for a one minute viewing, and then have to leave.
