The COMPETITION is reserved to first-time feature directors, with a budget under one million dollars whereas BREAKOUTS is a section for emerging narrative and documentary filmmakers working beyond their first features, with no budget restriction. All genres of shorts (40 minutes or less) are accepted and all sections are qualifying categories for the Annual Academy Awards®
A considerable number of Canadian features and shorts were selected and have won awards in recent years.
Telefilm Canada recognizes selection of a feature or a short film in the Festival for application to its International Marketing Programme.
