A series of short film packages produced by Albertans.

For the second consecutive year, the Edmonton International Film Festival is proud to present a full-day of films made right here, In Our Own Backyard. From the more the one hundred (100) films submitted by Albertans, these 37 shorts represent filmmakers at all stages of their careers and a diversity in both style and content. Following each short film package, our Hosts will moderate an audience Q&A with attending filmmakers. So rest up and get set to feast on 9 hours of 100% Alberta beef!
