Have you ever watched a movie and thought, the book was better or that the movie was better than the book? That’s what adaptation is, and it’s a theme being explored at the County Adaption Film Festival (CAFF), taking place in Prince Edward County Sept. 27-29.
An adaptation is where screenwriter takes an idea from somewhere such a poem, painting, book or symphony and turns it into a film. The unique part of this festival is the opportunity for the screenwriters and creators, of the original material, to discuss the adaptation process.
Six films will be screened at the Regent Theatre in Picton with other related events being featured throughout the County.
Nestled between Toronto’s TIFF and Kingston’s Canadian film festival, CAFF is a curated festival setting the County apart and is a new addition to the film festival circuit.
