Bring Festival In A Van to Your Community
We’re hitting the road! Festival in a Van is an exciting new initiative introducing regional audiences to some of the fantastic films and workshops offered by the Atlantic Film Festival Association. From youth to adult programming, we can provide more opportunities for Atlantic Canadians to explore and create their own worlds of visual storytelling, in addition to entertaining audiences young and old alike.
To bring Festival in a Van to your local school or community, we can custom design a program geared to both specific age groups and community issues. Contact Julie Glaser for more information.
