Documentarians rejoice: B.C.’s longest running documentary film festival is underway in Kelowna.
A landmark on Kelowna’s cultural landscape for well over a decade, the Traveling World Community Film Festival brings a selection of the best in vital new documentaries on a wide range of social justice topics to the city.
The festival opened March 2nd at the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Centre with the film Migrant Dreams.
The rest of the 30 films will be shown at Okanagan College 1000 KLO Road on Saturday March 4 and Sunday March 5.
During the weekend at Okanagan College the area surrounding the entrance to the main theatre will be converted into an “activist’s arena” where community groups will have a chance to distribute their literature, make their causes known and talk with film-goers about films that tie-in with their areas of concern.
Continuing the festival’s “education is a right” policy, again this year admission to the festival is free of charge. Donations are accepted for the Ki-low-na Friendship Society and Inn from the Cold.
Descriptions, schedule and links to film trailers can all be found at the festival site: worldfilmfestkelowna.net.
