New Venues announced for 2011 Festival

To celebrate our 5th year, the 2011 TISAF will hold two events.

The High school Event will be held at the Royal Theatre on College St. in Toronto.

Wed. Oct 12, 2011 from 10:0AM – 1:00PM.

Entries in 8 categories from the 2010/11 school year will be screened culminating with the Awards Ceremony for the top entries in each category.

The move to a matinee show on a date after the end of the school year was made for 2 reasons. The entry deadline of June 6th, 2011 gives students the whole year to complete and submit their work. No mad rush in the first week of May as in the past. As well, teachers have the opportunity of bringing their new classes on a field trip to kick-off the new school year. The theatre holds 800 seats and the start and end times give buses a chance to arrive on time and get back to school before the end of the school day.

The Post-secondary Event will be held at the NFB Mediatheque cinema on John St. (at Richmond St.) in Toronto.

Friday November 4th, 2011 from 6:00PM – 8:30PM.

Entries in 4 categories from around the world including many Ontario post-secondary schools will be screened with awards going to the top entry in each category.
