Air Canada announced this week that it is inviting Canadian film students and emerging filmmakers to enter its 7th annual enRoute short film festival. Each year, a celebrity jury selects the best short films and broadcasts them to a large international audience on Air Canada’s enRoute in-flight entertainment system.
The winner of Best Short Film will receive a $5,000 cash prize courtesy of presenting sponsor Cineplex Entertainment. Other awards include Achievement in Direction, Achievement in Cinematography, Achievement in Animation and the second annual People’s Choice Award. All winners will receive an exciting new destination prize to a major international film festival courtesy of Air Canada.
Winning films are selected by a jury, which will be announced this summer. Past jury members have included Jean-Marc Vallée, Jay Baruchel, Alison Pill, Atom Egoyan, Denis Villeneuve, Donald Sutherland, Molly Parker, Rémy Girard, Alan Cumming and Don Carmody.
Selected films will be broadcast on Air Canada’s personal seatback entertainment system and viewed by millions of Air Canada customers around the world. A free public screening and awards celebration will be held in Toronto at the end of the year to honour the winners. Additional screenings will take place in Vancouver and Montreal showcasing the selected films.
