The heart of the Mosquers is the film submissions.

For more than a decade, we have strived to spread a message of creativity, positivity, and compassion to the general public. Films submitted to the Mosquers have made us laugh, they’ve made us cry, and most importantly, they’ve made us think.

Do you want to carry the torch? Do you want the chance to win up to $9000 CAD? Do you want to be recognized for your talent? If you said YES to any of these questions, submit your short film for the opportunity to see it premiere on the big screen at one of Edmonton’s premier film festivals! The Mosquers is always looking for creative filmmakers to elevate the conversation, leaving a lasting impact on our vast and diverse audience.

Submissions for the next festival remain open until a new festival date is confirmed!
