Another great lineup is in store for the 15th annual CNC Film Festival that hits the big screen Feb. 25 to 27 at the Prince George Playhouse.
"We will once again be showing the best of Canadian film for our Prince George audience," said organizer Peter Maides. "We have comedy, foreign language films, dramas and documentaries."
The festival weekend at the Playhouse begins Friday at 7 p.m. and concludes Sunday at 9:30 p.m.
"It's not about watching one film, it's about watching a bunch of films," said Maides. "These films are set in Canada and around the world and they appeal to all audiences."
Up first is Trigger by director Bruce McDonald, starring the late, great Tracy Wright as well as a high-powered cast of Canadian greats such as Molly Parker, Don McKellar, Callum Keith Rennie and Sarah Polley.
That's followed at 9:30 p.m. by Incendies by Denis Villeneuve's Oscar-nominated tour de force. Based on Wajdi Mouawad's internationally-acclaimed play, Incendies follows two siblings as they attempt to unravel the mystery of their mother's life.
A variety of passes are available at CNC Bookstore, Books and Company and UNBC Bookstore. Festival: $48; Friday: $14 (two films); Saturday: $21 (three shows); Sunday: $21 (three shows). Single tickets are $8 and available at the door only.
