If you’re already bored of the explosion-filled, over-acted, sequels of the summer blockbusters, but still want to sit in a cool theatre enjoying a movie, I’ve got something for you.
The Dreamspeakers Film Festival begins tonight. It’s got a dozen mid-to-feature length movies and plenty of shorts, all jammed into four days.
Things get started tonight with A Windigo Tale, at 8pm at Metro Cinema. Like all good movie festivals, the film’s producer/director will be at the screening.
Just like last year there will be a Walk of Honour event, celebrating aboriginal artists who have made a lasting impression. (Sally stumbled into the ceremony last year.)
So, get out to Metro or the Stanley A. Milner Library’s movie theatre to see something different. Or head to the Yellowhead Brewery or Beaver Hills House Park for some of the more pageantry-themed aspects.
Oh! And this year the Dreamspeakers is also teaming up with the Rubaboo Arts Festival. It’s just the second go-round for this aboriginal arts celebration. Rubaboo also runs June 2-5.
