Hello Film Fans!
Drew, Josee and Mark would love thank everyone who gave their support to the first season of the Film Event Society of Temiskaming.
With that said... FEST is super proud to launch their second season of film events!!!
SO proud, in fact, that we have lined up a few treats for our patrons.

First! .... We will be hosting a fun little social event on Friday October 17th in Cobalt's beautiful Classic Theatre. This is a FREE event where you can watch some Oscar winning Canadian short films, have a drink or two (sorry, not free), grab FREE movie swag, and eat free popcorn... yes, that's right: eat FREE POPCORN!
It will also be pretty much the last chance to grab a Season's Pass, which are available NOW at Chat Noir Books, Robertson's (soon).

Second!... Saturday October 18th at Chat Noir Books in New Liskeard, the FEST crew and some friends will be presenting a more musically oriented event during the day. Drop by to see some live bare-bones music performed by the local riff-raff, watch some musical documentaries and/or videos, and bring your friends who couldn't come out the night before so they have an opportunity to pick up their own Season's Pass!!

Third!... The SEASON OPENER! (I'll post the title when it is confirmed). As usual, the 7:30 pm screening will take place at the Empire Theatre in New Liskeard. However, NOT as usual, it will be preceded by a short film. In fact, EVERY film screened this year will be preceded by a different short film! This first one is called I Met the Walrus, a documentary about a 14 year old kid who interviewed John Lennon in Toronto in 1969.
