Donation-Fueled Experimental Film Festivals

The FEEDBACK Festival Runs Monthly in LA & Toronto

The FEEDBACK Experimental Film Festival constitutes a multitude of screenings conducted on a monthly basis that not only provide filmmakers the chance to showcase their short films and artistic music videos but also a chance for the audience to engage with the content. The event runs every three months at the Carlton Cinema in Toronto, Canada and on the first Thursday of every month in Los Angeles. Creatives are welcomed to submit their short and each installment of the experimental film festival has a certain theme that the audience is encouraged to guess.

The screened movies are an eclectic collection of cultures and cinematography. In addition, there are two dynamic discussions at the event — one during intermission and one at the end, where organizers of the experimental film festival prompt the audience to share their thoughts on each film.
