Reel 2 Real Celebrates 10th Anniversary.
Cutting edge online media, "Old School" classics, and Cultural Diversity will be highlighted at the Reel 2 Real International Film Festival for Youth from February 22 - 29, 2008. Festival Director Venay Felton announced, "The festival will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary with an Awards Night and Opening Gala screening, Red Like the Sky (Italy) on February 22 at 6:30 pm at the Vancity Theatre (1181 Seymour Street)." The movie is based on the true story of Mirco Mencacci, who lost his sight at ten years old but became one of Italy’s top sound designers for film. Seven of the awards will be chosen by youth juries who have taken workshops on Film Criticism. Visit www.r2rfestival.org for festival tickets or phone 604.224.6162
