Montreal Independent Film Festival Announces its Latest Winners

Montreal Independent Film Festival (MIFF) was founded with the spirit of indie filmmaking, creativity, discovery and support for international and Canadian shorts and features of all genres.

The festival is both monthly and annual. MIFF selects and awards films from all over the globe every month and promotes the award winners in order to create further publicity for indie films.

Award winners are also credited on IMDb and have the option to promote and screen their films throughout the month on Toronto Film Channel. MIFF also bestows honorable mentions in various categories to some of the finalists who have shown creativity and talent.

The Annual festival selects its films from the award winners of the monthly editions and screens the films in its weekly annual event.

It is our pleasure to announce the winners of the Montreal Independent Film Festival (MIFF) in Toronto Film Magazine.
