​TAF x TSV Filmmaker Commission 2022
** Applications are now closed **​

The Toronto Arab Film and Trinity square Video present the 2nd TAF x TSV Filmmaker Commission. This year the commission will be awarded to two local (Toronto-based) filmmakers, to complete a short 5-10 minute film between June 2022 - January 2023. The commission will include in-kind credit from TSV that can be used for equipment rentals, workshops and/or post-production services.  

This is ideally suited to filmmakers who are interested in short films (format: documentary or experimental). Applicants must be ready to start and finish a film between June 2022 to January 2023. This is ideal for emerging Arab identifying artists who have little to no experience in film. It is meant to introduce applicants to the film field in Toronto and guide them through making a short film.

The final film will be screened at the 4th annual Toronto Arab Film Festival in 2023. 
​Details: 
  • 1-year membership to Trinity Square Video; 
  • $400 in-kind credit, which can be used for equipment rental, post-production facilities, or workshops;
  • Consultations with local filmmakers as needed;
  • 1-year free access to Masterclass.

Requirements: 
  • Must identify as Arab-Canadian; 
  • Must be residing in the GTA;
  • No prior filmmaking experience required, but applicants must demonstrate a strong interest in film and filmmaking;
  • Must make their completed film available to screen at the 2023 Toronto Arab Film Festival.

Deadline to apply:
May 14th, 2022 AT 11:59PM

Final Selection: 
The successful recipient will be selected in mid-May and an announcement will be made during the festival in late May.
