Concerned about the big issues that affect our world?
The Nanaimo Global Film Festival is back this year with 26 documentaries that address challenges and celebrate success in food security, fair wages, ecosystem restoration, the health of First Nations communities, the experiences of whistleblowers and more, both locally and globally.
The Festival runs Friday to Sunday (Feb. 19-21) in Buildings 355 and 356 on Vancouver Island University’s Nanaimo campus.
The Global Film Festival is one of the stops of the Travelling World Community Film Festival, so if you missed the World Community Film Festival this year in Courtenay, or weren’t able to see all of the films that were of interest, this is your chance to catch the ones that were missed.
“Every activist, and every concerned citizen, will be rewarded with valuable information and inspiration from these films, many of which are recent award winners” say the group of organizers, who come from both the campus and the community.
Full weekend passes, six-film passes, and double bill passes are available. Please visit nanaimofilmfest.org for film descriptions, the festival schedule, and details for purchasing passes.
