Trans Filmmakers Summit 2025

Always a highlight at TIFF, this year's Trans Filmmakers Summit will feature Emmy Award-Nominated Director and Producer Zackary Drucker who will be honoured with the CMF Barrier Breaker Award for her outstanding contributions to the industry.

This year’s Summit will also see the exciting comeback of the Short Film Fund, in partnership with Spindle Films Foundation, and features a distinguished jury that includes Devery Jacobs, Fawzia Mirza, and Alex Schmider. This fund is designed to support transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse filmmakers in advancing their careers.
