Lights, camera, action: This North Shore Film Festival showcases globally celebrated talent
As home to the Capilano University film school, as well as several acclaimed film studios and filmmakers, Vancouver’s North Shore is brimming with local talent that are worthy of being in the spotlight. This spring, cinephiles across the community are invited to join in on a celebration of remarkable local film projects that are making waves across Canada and around the globe.
Presented by the North Shore News, the first annual Coast Mountain Film Festival will showcase screenings of over 20 films, from Mar. 29 to Apr. 18. The films will collectively share a connection to the North Shore by featuring local talents and local stories. Throughout the festival screenings, taking place at venues in West Vancouver and North Vancouver, local filmmakers will have the opportunity to showcase their work to their hometown audience, filled with cast, crew, family, friends and film lovers alike.
While many of these films have been presented at prestigious festivals around the world, the Coast Mountain Film Festival offers filmmakers a chance to celebrate their work with the community in which it was made.
With screenings at Kay Meek Arts Centre in West Vancouver and Centennial Theatre in North Vancouver, the film selections for the first-ever Coast Mountain Film Festival includes a mix of short films and feature films, all of which highlight the vibrant and diverse filmmaking talent of the North Shore and Sea to Sky communities.
Split into five screening categories, the locally made movies will span across a range of themes that include Environmental, Dark Comedies, Dramatic Shorts, and North Shore Profiles as well as the Canadian premiere of Krow’s TRANSformation.
