Directed by Freddy Chavez Olmos, Shervin Shoghian

Our final extended deadline for the Festival will be December 15th, 2013.

We are pleased to announce that the films selected to be a part of the Festival – whether or not they are selected as top pieces in the Festival – will be compensated.

In a move that is a departure from major international Festivals such as TIFF where no fees are allocated to the films, the Tottering Biped Film Festival will be compensating Artists for their work. We’d like to thank Jim Riley, a local media Artist, for coming on board with a donation to ensure that this was made possible.
