The Okotoks Film Society is planning its movie list for the Film Festival running June 3-6!

Want a taste of what to expect this year?

The Festival is having its launch party screening on May 1st.

This is when the crew over there at the Okotoks Film Society announces what the festival films will be, all the ticket details, and they will chat with some of the filmmakers that are participating in the festival.

We chatted up Katie, Festival Director 

"Part of the reason we do the launch early is so that we're able to show the films that we're going to be screening at the festival and gives the opportunity for people to get excited and to make their plans for the festival because there are people who come and take in the entire four days of the festival, and so we want people to be able to plan accordingly. ‘This one I'm really excited to see. Maybe I'll skip this screening so that I can have the energy to stay up late for this screening because I really want to see this film here.’ It also gives kind of a taste of what the festival is going to feel like."

This year the event will be a LIVE STREAM full of trailers, chats, and exciting information. What a great way to get excited!!

When the actual fest rolls around... Will we be able to see something in person and what if we miss it? 

"A couple of events - and this is whether theaters magically open or not - we are doing on-demand screenings online. There about two film packages that will be available a week before the festival that people can watch whenever and then also we will have two more screening packages after the festival. So a total of four screenings that can be watched on-demand when people are able to before it after the fest."
