If you’re tired of seeing the same old superhero movies and want something a little different, you’re in luck because it’s time for the Cinema CNC Film Festival.
The 24th annual event hosted by the College of New Caledonia (CNC) is right around the corner.
The festival begins Friday (March 13) running until Sunday (March 15) and it’s your one and only opportunity to see eight Canadian films on the big screen at the Prince George Playhouse.
The festival is also a ton of fun and features the least expensive movie snacks in Prince George.
Passes are available at Books and Company, the CNC Bookstore, and the UNBC Bookstore. Single tickets are also available at the door or online.
