After TheatreOne’s Fringe Flicks closed last year, the Nanaimo International Film Screening Society is launching a new film series highlighting international, Indigenous and Canadian films.
CHLY spoke with Glen Grunau, the president of the Nanaimo International Film Screening Society about the film series showcasing cultures and communities from around the world that may not otherwise make it to the big screen.
Films will be shown at the Shaw Auditorium at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre in downtown Nanaimo.
The series is launching this Sunday, October 6, with two screenings of the award-winning Canadian film Riceboy Sleeps. There will also be a gala reception at 5:30 p.m. between the two showings. The series will continue with screenings of the American movie Thelma in November and the Japanese film Evil Does Not Exist in December.
