The Shorts Not Pants Film Festival is a Toronto-based short film festival that celebrates short films from Canada and around the world. Founded in 2012 by James McNally as a series of quarterly screenings under its original name, "Shorts That Are Not Pants," it transformed into an annual festival in 2018. The festival is committed to promoting the art of short filmmaking and provides a platform for filmmakers to connect with audiences, typically holding its annual event in November.
