Reel Shorts Film Festival
2022 Award Winners Jury members Scott Belyea (top left), Meaghan Brander (lower left), and Gordie Haakstad (lower right) are joined by Festival Director… The Reel Shorts Film Festival celebrates short films and filmmakers by screening gems of storytelling brilliance from around the world and across Canada. Our goals are: (1) to entertain, educate, and engage audiences; and (2) to grow the filmmaking community in the Peace Region of northwest Alberta and northeast British Columbia by inspiring, developing, and showcasing its filmmakers. Grande Prairie’s short film festival brings together filmmakers and audiences to watch the best short films from around the world. Our school program offers age and curriculum appropriate film screenings and visiting filmmakers to inspire youth. Our Filmmaker Insights workshops offer local filmmakers a chance to learn and grow alongside visiting pros. The Frantic48, presented in partnership with PRIMAA (Peace Region Independent Media Arts Association), challenges local filmmakers of all levels to write, shoot, and edit a short film in 48 hours. We also offer additional film screenings and education programming throughout the year. Our fest screenings are broken down into thematic packages of short films, which typically run 90 to 120 minutes. Each package has been programmed by our fest team to include a collection of short films, usually on a theme, or curated in an age-appropriate way.
