A Stunning Contemporary Film Festival

Final thoughts on the Montreal Festival of New Cinema

By Frederic Eger

Special to The Epoch TimesNov 08, 2006

For ten luxurious days in October, aficionados

of avant-garde film bathed in the electrifying

atmosphere of the 35th Montreal Festival of

New Cinema. More than 62,000 spectators, a

38% increase over 2005, enjoyed video offerings

at 344 screening rooms and events.

Festival organizers have shown how to

successfully respond to the public's

expectations and have established the festival

as Montreal's cinematographic event par

excellence from now on. As the oldest

international film event in Canada, next year's

festival is planned for October 17-27, 2007.
