What is Festival699?
Festival699 is an annual film gala event featuring the cinematic achievements of aspiring low-pro (non-industry) filmmakers, their crew and of course their ‘actors’.
How It Works
Judges sit in the front row and take detailed notes. By the end of the evening, a lucky few will take home the most coveted of all film awards, the Dolphin. Symbolizing creative freedom and beauty, the Dolphin award is not given freely. Competition is fierce.
Why Attend Festival699?
It happens in Toronto in every February, often on the 11th. A bunch of us get together and watch each other’s movies. Some were shot and edited in under an hour. Others were years in the making. Some are funny, others are sad.
