One World filmfest focuses on protest and revolt
The Ottawa Citizen
Eleven new feature documentaries will premiere in Ottawa this week as the 22nd annual One World Film Festival gets underway. The four-day event will also include previews of new work by local media artists, an opportunity to meet filmmakers from the U.K. and the U.S., and attend workshops on crowd funding and female child soldiers.
This year the theme of the festival, which focuses on human rights and the environment, is “Raise Your Voice.”
“We chose this theme because of the number of very strong films in the program that depict scenes of protest and revolt,” said program manger Pixie Cram. “It also suits the motif of the individual rising up in the face of a challenge to make a difference in the community.”
The festival runs Oct. 13 to 16 at Library and Archives Auditorium, 395 Wellington St.
