The Everyday Heroes Film Festival has announced a call for submissions for their 2nd annual festival. Like the Toronto Urban Film Festival, Everyday Heroes is a free festival that plays silent one-minute short films in the ONESTOP screens in the Toronto subway system. Films are expected to be mini-documentaries about real people who make a difference with there large or small acts of environmental "heroism."
Awards will be given in the categories of Activism, Education, Conservation and Great Ideas. They will be decided by a jury consisting of Kathleen Mullen, Brenda Longfellow, Jed Goldberg and Sharon Switzer. Deadline for submissions is March 1, 2011. The festival runs April 15 - 24, 2011.
