Short Film Competition
2022 Call for Entries
One of the featured programs of our fall festival is the annual Short Film Competition. This audience favourite is an exciting program that presents a selection of short films submitted by regional, national and international filmmakers. This is a juried event and the official selections will be publicly screened as part of the Barrie Film Festival’s annual Short Film Program Showcase on October 22, 2022.
Youth Media Project
Tell a story…
The Barrie Film Festival wants to empower you to tell stories that have never been told: Your Stories. We want to give you some ideas and useful techniques through this series of videos that range from: short films, “How To” talks with filmmakers, to instructional tips that you can try yourself. Unleash your creativity!
Education Program
We provide education resources to teachers.
The Education Program caters to hundreds of elementary and high school students from Barrie and the surrounding area. The programming is designed to support current curricular needs and presents teachers and students with the opportunity to view films – which are often not available to see anywhere other than film festivals – in an event setting.
Outdoor Films
Outdoor Screening Programme
Catering to a broader audience, our Outdoor Screening programme strives to create special and accessible venues in public spaces with family-friendly movie screenings presented free-of-charge to the Barrie community. These screenings are a good fit in collaboration with the Downtown BIA’s Lawn Chair Luminata: Waterfront series, which brings together theatre, music, film and art set in various downtown locations.
