The Toronto Youth Shorts Film Festival was founded in 2009 by Henry Wong, a graduate of the University of Toronto Scarborough where he coordinated screenings of student films [REF].
The festival screens a wide range of films, with themes and topics that reflect the diversity of Toronto such as cultural clashes, LGTBQ issues, pressures of urban living, influence from media, and issues on immigration and the cultural diaspora all from a youth perspective.
