About the TEFF:
The Thomas Edison Film Festival (TEFF) is an international showcase celebrating innovation in filmmaking, inspired by the pioneering vision of Thomas Edison. Since its inception in 1981, TEFF has sought to honor Edison’s legacy by promoting creativity and artistry in the moving image, much like how Edison’s films revolutionized visual storytelling, and his phonograph changed the way people experienced sound.
As an Academy Award® Qualifying Festival for animation and experimental shorts, and a Canadian Screen Award Qualifying festival, TEFF is more than just a traditional destination event. It is a socially conscious, traveling showcase that connects diverse audiences to the compelling works of independent filmmakers worldwide. By focusing on underrepresented voices, TEFF provides a platform for accomplished and emerging artists who may lack access to live public exhibitions. The festival emphasizes artistic excellence and promotes empathy and engagement through films that both teach and entertain.
TEFF celebrates a wide spectrum of genres, including narrative, experimental, animation, documentary, screen dance, and hybrids. The festival places particular focus on films addressing crucial social issues such as environmental challenges, race and class relationships, immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, human rights, disability advocacy, and social justice.
