CVIFF 2026 Short Films - Best of The Island and Beyond

CVIFF 2026 Short Film Programming – Best of The Island and Beyond
Canada, 125 minutes, English

From a lonely Cyclops looking for a friend, to a young woman coming to terms with her traumatic past, the short films in this block celebrate original storytelling from Vancouver Island.

We also celebrate filmmakers from the rest of the country – including the story of a nightclub magician…who might be more than he seems.

Filmmakers in attendance! Stay after for a Q&A.
