Welcome to Big Smash!
The Big Smash! Film Collective Inc. was a non-profit film organization active in Winnipeg, Canada from March 2008-June 2011. Organizational activities included Plastic Paper: Winnipeg's Festival of Animated, Illustrated + Puppet Film, The Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies, and regular Canadian and Francophone programming at Montreal's Blue Sunshine Film Centre, as well as various one-off event presentations throughout Winnipeg. The Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies has since been adopted by the Blue Sunshine Film Centre and its activities are listed at www.miskatonicinstitute.com.

After 3 years of regular operations, The Big Smash! Film Collective closed its doors in June of 2011.

We thank all of the people who came out to support our events!
