Real to Reel fest moves online

As with most other events during the COVID-19 pandemic, the 11th annual Winnipeg Real to Reel Film Festival is different this year.

The event, which runs Feb. 14-28, is normally held at the North Kildonan Mennonite Brethren Church. This year, the festival — which aims to "encourage, challenge and inspire people to a greater understanding of the human journey" — is moving online (www.winnipegfilmfestival.com).

"It makes me wonder what will happen," organizer Paul Boge said of the uncertainty of attendance figures.

‘Cool, clean, compelling’ film festival moves online for 11th iteration

It may have Manitoba’s capital in its name, but anyone anywhere will be able to attend this year’s Winnipeg Real to Reel Film Festival as it moves online for 2021. The 11th annual festival, which bills itself as cool, clean and compelling, takes place Sunday, Feb. 14 to Sunday, Feb. 28.

Winnipeg's most popular film festival is returning for 2021 adapting to the pandemic in hopes of encouraging viewers.

"It's been a very challenging year, and in some cases, it's been a very sad year, as well," the Winnipeg Real to Reel Film Festival's creator and director, Paul Boge, says in an online video.

Plenty of community activity to keep us warm

There’s been plenty to get excited about this February thanks to the creative enterprise of area community groups.

Winnipeg’s annual Real to Reel Film Festival, usually hosted live at North Kildonan Mennonite Brethren Church at 1315 Gateway Rd., is running online this year until Feb. 28, spotlighting an impressive 50 films curated over the past year from submissions by independent film-makers from around the world.
