The Vaughan International Film Festival (VFF), located just north of Toronto, is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to securing the future of the short film industry. Since 2012, VFF has evolved into a global platform for both emerging and established filmmakers, offering unparalleled opportunities to showcase their work and connect with the broader film community. EIPMA President Bernard Weiser will present the EIPMA Student Award at the festival's award-night gala in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. He will also host the student nominee screening and panel discussion on June 16. The signs of our industry coming back to life continue. However, it has been very slow and certainly makes us all wonder why. The business of making films and broadcast content is changing and unfortunately, all of us in post-production are the last to get relief. For those seeking jobs in our industry, opportunities are there, when one door closes, another door opens. It's a question of finding that door and being prepared, available, and ready to meet those opportunities. This is what we at EIPMA wish to impart to those students and individuals.
