On Wednesday, June 14 the Grey Bruce Youth Film Festival screening will take place at the Galaxy Cinemas in Owen Sound. This free event is open to the public, doors open at 5:00 pm and the screening will begin at 5:30 pm.
Audience members will be treated to a full screening of 14 short films created by youth from across Grey and Bruce Counties. The screening is followed by an awards ceremony announcing the winners of the 2017 Grey Bruce Youth Film Festival.
This year's films include a meditation upon a snail, a discouraged Russian scientist, survival in a post-apocalyptic landscape and a giant crab terrorizing Wiarton. The Grey Bruce Youth Film Festival offers a great opportunity to see the work of young, local, amateur filmmakers.
Films screened at the Grey Bruce Youth Film Festival are created for a teen audience and may contain scenes of violence some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.
The Library would like to gratefully acknowledge the support of the judges and program volunteers.
