About the festival

Videodrunk is a small indie/underground/horror film festival that will be taking place in the Greater Toronto Area this December. The festival is run by filmmakers and video artists and aims to present an eclectic collection of films to audiences in a non-formal easy going environment (usually with beer). Amateurs, students, DIYers and pros all are treated as equals.

Essentially we're the film festival version of punk rock.

We encourage all types of filmmakers and artists to submit.

As a Canadian festival, want to be a platform for Canadian short film and we want to support local film, as such we have a Durham Region category for short films with preferred pricing for Canadian shorts under 3 minutes. No films from outside Durham Region that are under 3 minutes will be shown.

Presented with the support of Exclaim! Media.

UPDATE: Sept 19: Due to new provincial guidelines we are working on setting up a digital festival for 2020

King Videor for Best of Fest (both for short and long form)
Canadian Film Prize
Best Canadian Film Under 3 Minutes
Wooden Spoon (Must see bad film. Awarded with director's permission)
