After several months of preparation and promotion, followed by a thorough judging process, thirteen films have been selected for the 5th annual Vancouver Island Short Film Festival.
This year we were flooded with great original short films. Over the Christmas holidays a three-person jury selected 13 films that will be shown at the festival on February 12th and 13th – 7 PM – at the Malaspina Theatre at the Nanaimo VIU campus. The festival will include a screening of the 13 selected films and an awards ceremony for best films in several categories with prizes for winning filmmakers.
“The quality of storytelling, technical aptitude and artistry is improving every year,” said VISFF director Johnny Blakeborough.
Hundreds of local film buffs came out to Malaspina Theatre last weekend to celebrate the work of local filmmakers at the 4th annual Vancouver Island Short Film Festival. We received overwhelmingly positive feedback from filmmakers and film watchers. Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this possible!
The Vancouver Island Short Film Festival (VISFF) has drawn more films than any previous year, an amazing 62 entries to this year’s festival.

“We are absolutely amazed at the quality of films this year, I didn’t think our local filmmakers could surpass the quality of last year but they have,” said VISFF organizer Johnny Blakeborough.
Tash Baycroft and Frederick Robinson from Nanaimo debuted their locally produced dramatic short film “Gone” at the 2007 Vancouver Island Short Film Festival. They have since gone on to rave reviews world wide, showing their smart thriller at the New York Film and Video Festival and most recently at Cannes. We congratulate Tash and Frederic for their well deserved success!
