Polar Film Festival in Montreal: Call for Entries |
|
Monday, 09 January 2012 |
The Canadian Film Institute is presenting, in partnership with the International Polar Year (IPY) 2012 Conference Secretariat, a special two-night event in Montréal, Quebec. The Polar Film festival will compliment the International Polar Year 2012 Conference: From Knowledge to Action, held April 22-27, 2012.
As a follow-up to the IPY Film Festival presented by the CFI in 2009, films will be selected to show April 24-25th to highlight the efforts of filmmakers from around the world who approach the Polar Regions from many different industries, research interests, artistic sensibilities, and political perspectives.
The CFI welcomes all films that explore issues and activities of particular relevance to the Arctic and/or Antarctic regions. Any genres of film and video practice — documentary, research, industrial, fiction, activist — from either Polar Region are encouraged for submission. Please be sure to forward this Call for Entries to relevant producers, filmmakers, researchers, and other parties who may be interested.

From Cafe Ex and our other Canadian programming to the various international film festivals we present (Latin America, Israel, India, Japan, Baltic-Nordic, German Language, and European Union) your attendance in record numbers in 2011 gives us great hope for the future.
Thanks for a wonderful year. We look forward to seeing you at the CFI in 2012. As you will soon discover, our programming year will be a rich and rewarding one.
From all of us at the Canadian Film Institute: Happy Holidays!
