Opening Night: Art, Escape, Action - Youth Media Arts Program and Star Panel

Nov. 13 - 6:30 PM

The Youth Media Arts program features work by filmmakers who are 26 years of age or younger. It is a tradition at the Regent Park Film Festival to begin the festivities by celebrating young voices with this program.

The eight films in this program exhibit a mindfulness of the dominant stories we’ve been told, the solitary paths we’ve been led down, and the compliance we’ve been expected to accept. Now the filmmakers take action to free us from such limits – using imagination and memory as collective problem-solving tools. Opening Night begins with a discussion with three acclaimed Canadian filmmakers on how they find the courage to tell difficult stories.
