Whistler: Few Anticipated Injuries

Whistler Film Festival December 3-6 2009

The Whistler Film Festival will have sport enthusiasts less inclined to pummel themselves down icy mountains during 9th annual film festival. Many Canadian filmmakers will hit the theaters and bars at this high profile event. The rest of us are invited too, just bring your evening wear and leave expectations of dreary 3-hour films at home.

It is only a 4 day event with an opening gala, a closing gala, and many soirees in between. Whether the emphasis is on partying or film screenings, it is a proud Canadian event mirroring the Cannes film festival. The festival showcases primarily Canadian cinema and hosts a ski race fundraiser against filmmakers in wintery Whistler.

If you attend one of the outdoor film screenings, bring a jacket. I put a request in for Titanic.
