Q: What are the dates of the 2008 WFVF?
A: This years festival runs from Thursday Oct 30 to Sunday Nov 2: Screenings run from 2 pm onward with a dinner break. Thursday evening is also Songwriter's Showcase, so you can watch the films and stay for the music. Friday night you can carry on to the Wilno Tavern for the big Hallowe'en Party with Mumbo Jumbo Voodoo Combo and Saturday night we have music with Ian Tamblyn. Sunday the last screening is at 3 pm.
Q: What is the admission fee to the screenings?
A: Most screenings are free. The exception is Saturday's premiere of "Griefwalker" which is a package deal with the film, a reception with Stephen Jenkinson sponsored by Black Prince Winery and Heritage Brewing, followed by a 100 Mile Harvest Dinner followed by a performance with Ian Tamblyn showcasing his new CD "Raincoast". Price for all this marvellous entertainment and food is 35.00 per person with reservations limited to 40 people. You can book your tickets by calling 756-9515 or emailing wilnostation@hotmail.com.
Thursday, Friday and Sunday screenings are free although we would welcome donations to the following good causes. Thursday we are hoping to collect some money for our local mom with the five kids who just lost her house in a fire and is in CHEO with her badly burned son. Friday, we are accepting contributions to a Wilno Film-maker Fund to help local film-makers with their projects and Sunday we appreciate any help in offsetting festival expenses such as promotion and advertising. If you don't wish to donate, that is fine too. Your presence is much appreciated in supporting the efforts of the Ottawa Valley film community.
Q: Where are the screenings?
A We now have a largish gallery on our lower level and we set up the film screening down there. You can watch a film and then take a break and come upstairs for a drink or a meal or just to socialize.
Q: How can I find out what the schedule is?
A: You can see this website for film times or you can call me (but I prefer you look at the website).
Q: Why isn't there a printed schedule readily available?
A: On the long list of things that should happen for the WFVF is the following:
volunteers to design a poster, a program, a tee shirt, and all sorts of other clever things. If you would like to be that volunteer you would be most welcome. If not for this year, then for the future.
Q: Who decides which films are included in the festival?
A: A completely biased committee of one. We are always open to new films and urge anyone with film projects or ideas for films that fall into our broad mandate to let us know.
