Vancouver Island Short Film Festival 2012
TICKETS NOW ON SALE
Tickets are on sale now for the 7th annual Vancouver
Island Short Film Festival, which takes place on April 13 and 14 at the
Malaspina Theatre at Vancouver Island University.
Tickets are available at
the Nanaimo Arts Council in Nanaimo North Town Centre, the House of Indigo on
Church Street and the Nanaimo Art Gallery on the Vancouver Island University
campus. Some tickets will also be available at the door. Tickets for this
crowd-pleasing show are $15 and are also available online at visff.com/tickets
All types of short films
were accepted for consideration into the festival.
“The quality and
diversity of styles and ideas is what really sets our festival apart,” said
VISFF Director Johnny Blakeborough. “This is our seventh year and each year our
submissions get better and better.”
The VISFF is open to
submissions from all over the world but it has always been a place to showcase
the work of Vancouver Island artists. Last
month, a three-person jury selected 13 films that will be shown at the festival
on April 13 and 14 at 7 PM at the Malaspina Theatre on the Nanaimo VIU campus.
“Our main goal is to turn the spotlight on our talented local
filmmakers,” said Blakeborough. “More than anything, this festival is for them.
It’s an opportunity to show their films in front of a large audience.”
There will be two
screenings of the 13 jury-selected films. Opening night will be Friday April
13 and will feature a filmmaker’s question and answer panel after
the film screenings. There will be food, music and an awards ceremony at the
second screening on Saturday April 14. Awards will be handed out
for best films and cash prizes for winning filmmakers.
The
Vancouver Island Short Film Festival creates opportunities for local filmmakers.
The festival is not only a venue for their films, but also an opportunity to
network with other film professionals and inspire growth in our film
community.
The
Vancouver Island Short Film Festival is made possible with the assistance of the
Nanaimo Arts Council and the Elephant Room Creative. Information on the
Vancouver Island Short Film Festival is available on the website at www.visff.com. For more information, contact
