about insomniac

INSOMNIAC FILM FESTIVAL presents a selection of the year’s most creative films from Toronto’s distinct young film community.

Organized and founded by a team of young programmers, Insomniac aims to celebrate works emerging from the lives and experiences of young Toronto filmmakers. We curate films that blur the lines between age, genre, and budget, reminding us of the creativity behind intelligent and powerful low-budget filmmaking.
