BE A FILM CRITIC!

Viewers aged 10-19 are invited to stay for a FREE workshop in film criticism following the screening of Crocodiles 3: All for One on January 14 from 3:00-4:30 pm.  The 90-minute workshop is open to all viewers ages 10-19.  Participants will sharpen their critical eye, gain an appreciation for film, and learn what makes a film great!

JOIN THE REEL 2 REAL YOUTH JURY

Workshop participants are encouraged to join our Youth Jury. The Youth Jury meets at the Mount Pleasant Branch of the Vancouver Public Library for four Saturdays in February and screens over 40 films to be shown as part of the upcoming R2R Festival. Rating films on plot, character, setting, acting, sound and cinematography, youth in the Jury will award seven prizes, announced during the Award Celebration on April 19.

If you’d like to be on the Youth Jury, and are not able to attend the workshop, just write and send us a short film review.  The deadline is January 27. Here are a few tips about how to write a film review.

Special thanks to the Georgia Straight for supporting our Film for All Ages Series and to the Vancouver Public Library for supporting our Youth Jury Program.
