You are Invited to the ReFrame Film Festival - Jan 29-31-
This Weekend Come See Film and Art
What if “male” and “female” are not the only options? How do
other
genders express themselves through art?
A small group of Burmese video-makers work around the clock - in the
midst of marching monks, scary police agents, and ready-to-shoot
soldiers - to make sure the outside world finds out about what is
going on in their tightly controlled country.
Wild New Zealand falcons and commercial logging - watch birds fight
back to survive in their natural habitat.
WELCOME to the wonder-filled world of ReFrame -- the Peterborough
International Film Festival. The little festival that keeps on growing
celebrates the latest cinematic works on social justice from our
community, Canada, and around the world. Once again, for three film-
packed days in downtown Peterborough from Friday January 29 to Sunday
the 31, 2010, ReFrame turns its intensive, magical gaze on events and
issues and triumphs and trials here, there, and everywhere.
Check out our website at www.reframefilmfestival.ca

trailers and photos and get the latest schedule and special event

We kick off the festival at Noon (12 pm) on Friday. We are screening

Year at Sherbrooke and Chance of a Lifetime at Market Hall as well as
The End of the Line at the Public LIbrary. The Opening Night screening

the lives of Burmese video journalists with Burma VJ.

Spill, Black Honey, and Blue Tomato Art Shop. A walking tour will
