About Best of Ottawa

Each year, The Ottawa International Animation Festival curates a selection of short films, both award winners and audience favorites, for our Best of Ottawa Program. The Best of Ottawa Program highlights achievements in the art of animation and represents the myriad of styles, techniques, and perspectives that animation is uniquely capable of realizing. 

Organize a screening at your school, theatre, or community space! Best of Ottawa works on a tiered pricing model to make it more feasible for small arts organizations while still ensuring that filmmakers are paid.

Small Organizations: $100 CAD

Medium to Large Organizations: $300 CAD

Both in-person and virtual screenings can be arranged, however not all films are available for virtual screenings. A DCP screening file can be provided for an additional transfer fee.
