The Justice film Festival took place this past weekend in Calgary. It was a great success with over 2100 people attending over the course of the weekend, approximately a 50% increase in attendance over the inaugural festival last year.

Things are set to take place in two weeks with a re-viewing of a sub-selection of those films in Canmore Alberta on November 30 and December 1.

Some of the Highlights?

• 540 people, the capacity of the auditorium came for opening night. And then even more came, people sat in the aisle and stood in the back, it was great!
• An excellent post film conversation took place following the film Finding Dawn regarding Missing Aboriginal women in Canada.
• The NGO village actually had serious traffic. Last year we found it was tricky to generate traffic in the Gym but something worked this year and many people perused Fair trade goods and groups promoting activism and seeking Justice around the world.
• Questions from the audience surrounding the film Ryan’s Well were nearly all posed by children.
