In a summer awash with festivals, the Canadian Film Centre's annual Worldwide Short Film Festival in Toronto is the place to be for cinephiles, awty music video lovers and this year, animé fans.

Can’t get in? Never fear—there are countless other cool programs to choose from, including Midnight Mania: Freaky & Creepy, Accidentally Funny: Order is Restored, archival instructional films taken out of context, and a film school spotlight featuring Argentina’s Universidad del Cine.
