We can't wait to bring you the fifth year of the Deep Cut Film Fest! Prepare yourself for the world's coolest short films, because it's going to be an amazing show.

Covid-19 prevented a live event this year, but we've still got a classic Deep Cut show for you.

The festival will be broadcast on YourTV (Channel 700) and streamed on our site as well. We even have two very special blocks that will only be available online, and you will not want to miss them!

All shows are free to watch! We'll be adding a donation button closer to the fest for those who would like to contribute to the cause. Just think of it as a regular fest, where we always let people pay what they want. We're cool like that.
