Future of Film Showcase starts July 9

Future of Film Showcase starts July 9

A still from Max Shoham’s animated film Sophie and Jacob.

The Future of Film Showcase, an annual short film festival and professional development conference dedicated to fostering the future of emerging Canadian filmmakers, features 11 shorts from Canada’s most promising new voices aged 40 and younger. This year’s slate includes Toronto Jewish community member Max Shoham’s animated film Sophie and Jacob, based on the true story of his great-grandparents, who find love while fleeing Nazi-occupied Romania in 1939. Shoham is a graduate of Etobicoke School of the Arts, where he majored in film, and is currently at Concordia University studying film animation.

The Future of Film Showcase takes place July 9 to 22, with films available to stream for free on the CBC Gem streaming service.
