Videodrunk is a film festival for the alternative that has prided itself in presenting the finest underground cinema to audiences in the Greater Toronto Area since 2014.
After an online iteration in 2020, the fest will make Durham region its home at Whitby, ON's 5 Paddles Brewing Company from November 18 to 21 for this year's edition. However, Videodrunk's chills, thrills, laughs, trips and reality like you've maybe never seen will also be available for viewing online via the streaming platform Festivee.
Featuring four days jam-packed with features, short films, video art and even live stand-up comedy, this festival is an occasion not to be missed — it's the perfect way to celebrate finding joy in the strangeness of these challenging times. (And one can reasonably assume that plenty of craft beer will be involved.)
All provincial COVID-19 regulations will be in effect at the festival. The 19+ event is for adults only and viewer discretion is advised, as some of the films contain violence (including of a sexual nature), coarse language, disturbing imagery, strobe lighting, sexuality and the use of drugs and alcohol.
Tickets to attend in-person are available here, and you'll find online viewing options here. Visit Videodrunk's website for further details.
