In the words of Sir Winston Churchill, ‘We shape our cities and in turn they shape us’. But, cultural success requires political action, business support and community commitment in order to realize the benefits of dreaming the ‘BIG’ dream.
With these thoughts in mind, it is with great excitement that we announce the 3rd Annual Grand River Film Festival, to be held on the banks of the Grand River in Cambridge – Oct 22-25, throughout the cities of Cambridge and Kitchener.
It is my belief that this festival has become a cornerstone of this region’s cultural renaissance and an annual focal point of provocative screenings of movies from around the world, which may shape and change the way we view the globe.
The mission of this Festival is investing in our youth. We hope to accomplish this goal through a structured volunteer program and a shared love for cinema. And, by making an investment in our youth by providing year-round skills development, professional training and mentoring opportunities for the next generation of community leaders, business people and perhaps, even a filmmaker or two.
Complemented by parties, special events, Q & A’s by industry professionals and star appearances, this festival is poised to become South Western Ontario’s annual gathering point for movie lovers of all ages.
Like most not-for-profit organizations, we face our fair share of financial challenges. There are numerous ways in which you can help to ensure the Success of this festival:
