Inspiring Human Stories During International Film Festival

For three days in October the air will be filled with compelling scenes and true stories when the Antigonish International Film Festival presents 47 outstanding documentaries from award-winning film directors. Topics include dreams, war, music, peacemakers, poetry and medicine, rivers, activism, grizzly bears, prisoners and prisons, Sable Island, forestry, soldiers- and many others. Over three days viewers will have a choice of films, all within a short walk. Attendance figures last year increased by seventy-five percent and another increase is predicted  this year. 
Local sponsors and advertisers have made all this possible. Because of them the low three- day pass price is $20 regular, $5 for students and unwaged. The special catered Mexican dinner Saturday night is only $15.

Five Screening Venues, all within a short walk, will allow patrons to see as many as seven or eight films in one day.
