Deadlines approach for Ottawa film festivals like CDFF! |
The Ottawa film festival scene is kind of
exploding with several new film festivals launching this year including Mirror
Mountain; Lights, Camera Cure!; and the St. Lawrence Film Festival. These
festivals add to the other local events that kicked off this year, including the Ottawa Irish Film Festival, the Ottawa Digital Film Festival, and last week’s
The ONEFF. Simply put: October is f*cked. (But in a good way.)
