   February 25, 2026

   Submit your film for the 14th annual Short Circuit Film Festival on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada!
   For 2026, Short Circuit will be a … short circuit! That’s right, we’re hitting the road to present a tour of local films in four locations across Vancouver Island: Tofino, Courtenay, Nanaimo, and Victoria. Submissions are accepted from filmmakers in our home region of Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.
   Short Circuit began in 2012 with a showcase of short films from the Pacific Northwest, and in 2017 we widened the lens to include work from around the entire Pacific Rim. Our tours in 2018 and 2023 expanded the scope and impact of our festival, bringing outstanding short films to even more audiences in BC and across Canada. In 2025 we presented more than three dozen short films in five screening programs, plus filmmaker Q&As, parties, awards, the Odeon Alley mini-cinema, and the INDIE+INDUSTRY professional development day including a brunch, panels, and networking.
   In 2026 we are excited to partner with Monday Night Movies in Tofino, Comox Valley International Film Festival in Courtenay, and Vancouver Island Short Film Festival in Nanaimo, to present this unique opportunity for local filmmakers. The tour wraps up with our two-day hometown festival in Victoria at The Vic Theatre!

   Three Victoria artists present Writ Large - Contemporary Works on Paper
   
   Three Victoria artists draw on their pasts as professional writers and editors to exhibit a collection of large-format works inspired by the emotional and intellectual energy of written language.
   Georgina Montgomery, Louise Oborne, and MaryLou Wakefield use words and text as part of their visual language to amplify a compelling idea, question, or life experience personally meaningful to them.
   In this series, the artists demonstrate their individual stylistic approaches to interpreting 'Writ Large' and invite viewers to find their own meaning and interpretation in the works.
   Writ Large will be on at arc.hive artist run centre October 4 - 19 and open for viewing Saturdays and Sundays from 12 - 4 pm.
   An opening reception with the artists in attendance will be on Friday, October 3, from 7 - 9 pm.
