". . . ARGUABLY TORONTO'S MOST ECCENTRIC AND
INTERESTING FILM FESTIVAL." - TORONTO LIFE
MAGAZINE
The Images Festival is the largest festival in Canada
for independent media, showcasing international excellence
and innovation both on and off the screen. Many of
the world’s most influential and challenging
artists show their work at Images. From Super-8 and
hand-tinted celluloid to DV, performance and interactive
media, the Images Festival goes out of its way and
over the edge to present Toronto with an annual extravaganza
of worldwide image making.
"... RIGHT-BRAINED, UNDERGROUND, NON-LINEAR
AND DEFINITELY NOT HOLLYWOOD." - TAKE ONE
The Images Festival was established in 1987, integrating
film and video from its inception, and later expanding
to include installations, performances and new media.
Each year the Images Festival presents approximately
200 films, videos and media artworks. Emphasizing Toronto,
Canadian and World premieres, Images offers Toronto
audiences a unique opportunity to see new work that
will not show elsewhere. “NOT coming soon to
a theatre near you” has become the motto of this
festival of independents. Images is proud to honour
the talented artists that show their work at our festival,
and we annually present a number of awards with the
support of committed sponsors such as the National
Film Board of Canada, Steam Whistle and NOW Magazine.
