With 42 short films across six programmes representing 23 countries, this year’s Short Cuts lineup at the Toronto International Film Festival continues its tradition of profiling a wide variety of world cinema from new and established filmmakers. And like in prior years, we were lucky enough to watch this year’s selection and report on some of the best short films playing at TIFF this year. Here are ten shorts that constitute some highlights from this year’s programme.
1001 Nights (Rea Rajčić)
In Rea Rajčić’s documentary, two octogenarian women get together every day to sit down and watch Turkish soap operas, a routine that proves to be more than just appointment viewing. Cutting between gorgeous shots of peacocks roaming the streets of their city and the two women seated in an apartment living room––sleeping, commenting, and bickering as they watch their stories––Rajčić highlights the strong connection between her subjects.

Skims continues its ’90s-inspired streak with a new swimwear campaign starring Carmen Electra and Jenny McCarthy.
Electra, 51, and McCarthy, 50, “capture the essence of a sizzling, hot summer,” notes Skims in a release. “This fun campaign celebrates the impact these women had on pop culture and their timeless appeal, reminding the world that confidence and sexiness cannot be confined.”
The actresses sport the Kim Kardashian-co-founded label’s signature swim silhouettes in the shoot, including the zip-front and scoop-neck one-pieces ($88-$94) in the classic Onyx and Gunmetal shades, the Triangle Top with the Dipped Tie Bottoms ($36-$38), the Tank bikini top and the mid-waist bottoms ($48 each).
The former Playboy models previously worked together on McCarthy’s 2005 film, Dirty Love, and “faced off” in MTV’s claymation series Celebrity Deathmatch.
