This year the 8th annual Whistler Film Festival www.whistlerfilmfestival.com takes place December 4 to 7, 2008 and we are willing to pay travel expensives for reporters on assignment. Each year, the Whistler Film Festival presents a selection of more than 90 films from Canada and around the globe, including premieres from some of North America?s top directors, and awards over $42,000 in prizes and commissions. This four- day extravaganza also features lively festival celebrations including parties, an outdoor screening, a tribute to a distinguished filmmaker and the annual Celebrity Challenge ski race. This premier event also features innovative industry programming through the Whistler Filmmaker Forum that takes place alongside the Festival, providing a full range of professional development, market and networking opportunities for filmmakers. If you are interested in attending or need more information please contact Publicity Manager Jeanette Miller |
