The Edmonton Short Film Festival (ESFF) is an annual film festival held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, dedicated to showcasing independent short films. Established in 2013 by Groove-Soldier Productions, the festival's initial goal was to provide a professional platform for local, independent filmmakers to screen their projects. The ESFF became a non-profit organization in 2014 and typically takes place in the fall, primarily featuring short films made by independent filmmakers from Alberta, with a "Long Shorts" program also including international films. The festival includes a gala event and aims to celebrate diverse projects, including trailers, music videos, web series, and various short film genres.
