Taking a moment to give thanks to the great volunteers we have ❤️
We say it ALL the time but it is SO true! So many have been reaching out to ask about our plans for this year's festival, have been sending us DMs and emails of encouragement, sharing and commenting on our posts and telling us they miss us! We miss them too! Good people who love film - the best!
This moment comes from the Uptown Theatre box office during BFF12 in 2009. Carole is still with us! You may just see her smiling, safely from behind her mask, at this year's Short Film Competition on Saturday Oct 3 at Sunset Barrie Drive-in!
The 23rd Barrie Film Festival runs Oct 1-4, 2020 at the Sunset Barrie Drive-in. Announcements and Ticket Release coming soon!

Tomorrow we will reveal who we are and our mission to champion Indigenous women content creators and media makers. The Canadian media landscape is desperate for Indigenous women's voices and perspectives. We want to see Indigenous women SHINE on screen, behind the camera and in all areas of film, tv and media creation, execution and exhibition.
