ALBERTA filmmakers only festival

Local Heroes Film Festival is a presentation by the Edmonton Short Film Festival.

Our goal is get Alberta short films in front of as many people as possible! This new festival offers Alberta filmmakers the opportunity to share their short films (up to 30 minutes) at free community events throughout the province. Special community events celebrate content created by or with an emphasis on BIPOC, Women, Pride and Family.

We accept films of any creation date and genre (including web series, trailers, commercials, music videos and more)!

Your ONE-TIME submission to Local Heroes gives you the potential opportunity to have your film screened for the next five years at one or more community event.
