Festival offers ‘something for everyone; says director The Milton Film Festival presents eight feaâ€" ture flms that will be screened at the fourth annual event on January 27â€"29. The film lineâ€"up was officially unveiled at a press event late last year at the Milton Centre for the Arts by Jennifer Smith, director and committee chair for the Festival, and author and former film critic Ron Base, who serves as the festival‘s host and MC. Films, which will be shown at the arts centre (1010 Main St. East), were chosen by the Fesâ€" tival‘s Selection Committee, which includes Smith, Base, programmer Katherine Pearce, and committee viceâ€"chair Carmen Martino. "Our selection process is truly a collaborative effort," said Smith, "bringing people of differâ€" ing tastes and points of view together to disâ€" cuss, sometimes debate, and eventually disâ€" tilling a‘short‘list of 30â€"40 titles down to eight remarkable and truly distinctive films. "What this means for our audience is a curatâ€" ed selection of films that truly has something for everyone." Base revealed the list of eight feature films to be screened over the three days of the festiâ€" val, opening with Weirdos â€" the latest film Acclaimed J Feature _ : [ Films FESTIVAL FAVOURITES MILTON Villager «z coseco tff :: insuprortor SickKids #%Sz: M s Scotiabank TEAMIIGER voue ll' to 'lll lillll succuss G - d.
