VTIFF’s Made Here Film Festival celebrates the work of filmmakers in all six New England states and Quebec, making it a truly international affair. For four days in April of 2026, filmmakers and enthusiasts gathered in Burlington Beer Company’s Lumiere Room, where we screened 54 films of all types – shorts and features, animated and live action, dramas and comedies, fiction and documentaries, etc. For this screening, we’ve pulled together nine of our favorite short films from this year’s collection. ~SM
