PIFF Originals
We do not only screen films.
We help make them.
PIFF Originals is the festival's production initiative for new short films and bold film ideas. The goal is to create fresh work for the festival instead of relying only on the limited number of existing titles.
PIFF Originals
New work, not only new screenings.
PIFF Originals exists so the festival creates new films, not only programmes existing ones. Selected filmmakers receive production support to make short work that premieres at PIFF.
