Movieola-The Short Film Channel is ‘taking short films to another level’ through its new interactive website, rolled out on Feb. 6.

‘It gives you a real taste of what our channel offers,’ says David Miller, director of creative and business development at Channel Zero, operator of Movieola.

The site (www.movieola.ca) offers short film content for viewing and streaming, an interactive program guide, subscription and submission services, and the latest short film news.

‘With new emerging media platforms and the popularity of short film, it is truly the next step for Movieola,’ said Channel Zero president Romen Podzyhun in a release.

The Toronto-based digi, which calls itself the world’s first short film channel, was launched in September 2001.
