WILDsound Festival TV offers a broad catalog of independent short and feature films across roughly 20 genre categories, plus non-film content including screenplay, novel, short story, and poetry readings.

Non-film content

Beyond films, WILDsound describes a growing library that also spans:

  • Original screenplay readings
  • Novel readings
  • Short story readings
  • Poetry readings

These cover all genres, so the platform is not limited to finished films — it also showcases written works performed or read aloud.

Festival and feedback content

Two additional content types stand out:

  • Audience feedback videos — 651 videos of 2026 festival audience feedback, described as the best of the FEEDBACK festival videos for that year.
  • Newly posted short & feature films — 603 videos in a rolling "newly posted" collection.

These give you a sense of how the festival format works: films are screened, audiences respond, and that feedback is published alongside the films.

How to browse and watch

  1. Go to wildsound.ca and use the Browse or Search options to find a category.
  2. Pick a genre collection (for example, Horror or Documentary) to see its films.
  3. Start the free 3-day trial to watch; after the trial, the monthly subscription is $4.99.

What this means for you

If you want a single place to sample independent work across many genres — including experimental, documentary, and niche categories like dance or environment films — the catalog is unusually wide for a festival channel. If you mainly want mainstream features, note that the emphasis is on independent short films and festival selections, with feature films appearing in the "newly posted" mix. The free 3-day trial lets you check whether the genre spread matches your taste before paying the monthly fee.
