(Toronto) Happening alongside NXNE this week is the Worldwide Short Film Festival (June 16 – 21st). Want to feel snobby and actually know what film should win the Oscar in the short film category, then attend this festival. There are tones of programs to choose from, so go to the site and have a look around. Here are some quick recommendations:

This selection has an excellent short, Photograph Of Jesus along with a couple of short documentaries, Skin and The Archive. I’m a sucker for short docs.
