 The Reel Short Films Festival
Our film festival celebrates short films and the filmmakers who make them, thus creating a fertile environment in which Peace Region filmmakers are inspired to grow and develop. We are a production of Grande Prairie Live Theatre, one of Canada's largest nonprofit community theatres. Our first film festival took place March 23-25, 2007 and we enjoyed tremendous feedback from everyone involved. We hope to continue that success by following the same goals as we did for the first one
