Available Now - Limited Edition 29th Anniversary Program Guide
This year's program guide is all about the movies with editorial content and expanded synopsis of each film screening at this year's Festival.
This year's guide is a greener one cutting down on extra pages to focus exclusively on content. In addition to this, the 2009 guide has been printed on ethically
harvested paper, and has moved items such as industry specific components to separate web peices (available for download on the Inspired Industry Sessions page).
These efforts alone have allowed us to save an estimated 2 million peices of paper on this initiative alone.
This year's guide is available at our Park Lane Box Office, Quinpool's Video Difference and select TicketPro locations for $5
WE'VE MOVED
Starting July 2nd the AFFA Offices will be located at 1601 South Park St., Halifax
