Join us at Innis Town Hall on June 5 & 6 for the 2015 Breakthroughs Film Festival!

Breakthroughs Film Festival is the only festival in Canada devoted exclusively to short films by New Generation (18-30 yrs old) female artists. We show films from any and every genre made by talented young women from all over the world.

Breakthroughs refers to the struggles women artists face in an industry where they make up only 6 percent of directors and must, in many cases, work even harder than their male counterparts to make their voices heard.

THE FESTIVAL

With a record number of submissions, this year’s festival includes award-winning films from Canada, Korea, Lebanon, Turkey, and the USA, united by the theme of Identity.

Where: Innis Town Hall - Near Bloor St. and St. George

When: June 5 & 6

Time: 7pm - 9:30pm each night

Tickets: Tickets are now on sale, and can be purchased for $12 online (visit www.breakthroughsfilmfestival.com for more details) and $15 at the door. A two-night festival pass is also available for only $20.
