The YoungCuts Film Festival is an international film festival based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, whose mandate is to advance the careers of young filmmakers. Originally established in Toronto in 2001, the festival was created to identify and help talented young people begin their film and television careers by providing exposure and recognition of their works.[1] In 2007, the festival moved to Montreal.[2] The annual event selects the best 100 films of the year from more than 1,000 submissions by filmmakers 29 years old and under.[1][3][4][5] In 2016, the festival moved from Montreal to Vancouver.[1]
