Another Successful Film Festival

January 17th was the day the Banff Mountain Film Festival entertained another audience at TCU Place in Saskatoon. According to our Section bean counters there were about 1000 people in the audience. Those of us who have been in on the Film Festival for many years will recall our earlier shows on Broadway with audiences of around 300. The event has certainly grown.

As usual, there were many comments about the selection of movies. Probably the most popular was the story of the kayak trip from Australia to New Zealand. The Swiss Machine also received many favourable comments.

The date for the Film Festival showing in Regina is coming up on April 28th, 2011. The date for the next Film Festival in Saskatoon, in 2012, will be announced shortly.

The Section's Film Festival Committee is already discussing plans for next year. If any readers are interested in getting involved, there will be, as always, a need for volunteers. Contact the Section at info@accsask.ca to find out how you can help.

Finally, many, many thanks to our volunteers, organizations who set up pre-show displays and, especially, to our local sponsors who have supported this event. Visit our Film Festival website to see our local sponsors; support these local businesses and organizations and tell them how much you appreciate their assistance in bringing the Film Festival to Saskatoon.
