cultural entertainment that is
uniquely Canadian.
Event organizers are
enthusiastic about this year’s
event, which is being held at the
newly built Landmark Cinemas
located at New Westminster
SkyTrain station.
“The festival is therefore
very accessible and convenient
to get to,” said Joyce Rostron,
one of the festival organizers and
the vice president of Green Ideas
Network.
In addition to the new
venue, the New West DocFest
has expanded its program,
moving to a three-day festival
this year and expanding its
lineup. Along with the five
feature films, the festival will
also include film shorts, guest
speakers, live music, and a
closing night reception.
The feature-length films will
touch upon themes such as food,
animal rights, music culture,
environmental sustainability,
and social justice.
The festival promises to
be an age-inclusive affair, as
festival organizers hope to
attract children to the event.
Opening night will feature The
Legend of Sarila, a 3-D animated
film which premiered at the
Toronto International Film
Festival earlier this year. The film
takes place in the Arctic tundra
as three Inuit youth go on an
adventure to save their clan from
starvation due to environmental
changes in the North.
While not a documentary,
The Legend of Sarila will be
featured prominently in the
festival's lineup in an effort to
encourage children and youth to
be more engaged.
“This film has been
chosen because it fits with the
festival organizers’ mandate;
that is, to show movies with
meaningful messages or cultural
significance, and that inspire,
educate and promote dialogue,”
said festival organizers in a
statement. “The fact that [The
Legend of Sarila] appeals to
children also satisfies another
festival goal to show films
with topical variety and which
are inclusive to an all-ages
audience.”
The other feature films
include Blackfish, 20 Feet from

Stardom, GMO OMG, and Bidder
70.
Festival organizers are
also very proud to continue
with their tradition of using
sustainable green energy to
power much of the festivities for
the three-day event.
The festival goes from
October 23 to October 25. A
full festival pass goes for $20,
while individual film screenings
start at $5 for seniors and
students and $7 for general
admission. Tickets will be
available at the theatre and are
also available online at www.
