SAWITRI Theatre Group and The Open Space come together again to offer an exciting opportunity for emerging filmmakers!
The films tell the story of each production that is being presented in the Mississauga Multilingual Fringe® Festival 2025. These films become a part of MMFF Shorts – The Film Festival!
MMFF Shorts – The Film Festival seeks to capture the stimulating discussions and construction of story and play that bring ideas and values to life from native culture to new home culture and bridging ‘then’ with ‘now’. These films will explore how they do it, how they think it, and what it feels like to be on the inside with the creators striving to put into words the backstory behind the play they will present for the first time in a matter of days.
Each film story will be 5-7 minutes in duration, including credits, and each will be appraised in terms of the entertainment value they bring to sharing their creative approach to presenting their ideas, showing how feelings and humour, insights and truths become a play that unfolds on stage.
Final films may be in English or not in English. Where not in English, the film will have English subtitles.
