Canada’s Best Film Festival
You may not recognize a lot of Canadian films on your direct tv Worchester but they’re out there! Canadian filmmakers are really taking off and there are numerous film festivals being held just to honor them. Here are three of our favorites:
Vancouver International Film Festival – One of the largest in all of Canada, the Vancouver International is a great place to see and be seen. If it does well here you can bet it will make an appearance at Sundance later in the year.
Whistler Film Festival – this is more of a boutique festival but it’s got all the best indie films that may not make it to the big leagues. You’ll find short films and documentaries on Canadian subjects here so it’s a great stop for aspiring filmmakers.
Banff Mountain Film and Books Festival – One of the only festivals of its kind, Banff celebrates all the cerebral arts. It’s a wonderful place to ski and take in the scenery and this film festival is one that will delight any true scholar of any particular genre. It’s worth checking out.
