This is the final day of Whistler Film Festival premieres and as always, a sense of sadness hits me as it will be a full year until I can partake in the celebration of movies. As I couldn’t do it in the village One perk about doing the entire festival online and in my house […]

This is the second to last day of my Whistler Film Festival blasts, I have seen way too many movies at this point, and SMALL TIME is an American Indie with an unforgettable pint-sized performance and absolutely worth putting on your home screen of choice.  Small Time (United States, dir. Niav Conty) Emma (Audrey Grace […]

There are just a few days left of premieres in the Whistler Film Festival, and the fest has saved some of the best features for last! All titles will be available through the end of the month. For today’s daily blast, we’re taking a look at a solid new Canadian feature that is unmissable at […]

Another big day for Whistler Film Festival! First up is a genuine Indie comedy that we rarely see anymore, supported by a terrific cast. Following this is the annual Student Shortwork, which features quick documentary and narrative shorts based out of the film departments of respective schools all through the province. Like with the Mountain […]

We’re getting there! I certainly hope you have had the opportunity to check out many movies and recommendations I have made for the 2020 edition of Whistler Film Festival. Adding into the virtual mix today is a caffeinated new feature from El Salvador and a feature by BC filmmaker Carl Bessai that is almost like […]

Still running strong with new premieres until December 20th, Whistler Film Festival powers right along with two new Canadian movies with very different backgrounds, showcasing a LOT of diverse talent before and behind the camera. This along with many other premieres are now streaming on the virtual site.

The Whistler Film Festival is slowly starting to come to a close with its daily premieres but what is just great to see is how many of its selections are now readily available on the site. Both a stunning wildlife documentary and another collection of Kristyn Stilling’s Shortwork are up for viewing today on the […]

As we are all well past the halfway mark, I am certainly hoping that film fans are checking out as many of the movies on the roster at Whistler Film Festival this year. I have been so excited to share the lineup this year featuring movies from all walks of life, and it feels like […]

It’s Day 12 of Whistler Film Festival and not only are there two more solid Canadian movies joining the lineup, a highlight of WFF is also hitting the streaming service today; a two-part Mountain Culture Showcase work that I consider some of the most essential viewing of the 2020 edition.

The month-long virtual Whistler Film Festival now heads into Day 11 and features a new movie by Quebec legend Remy Girard, who is also doing a talent talk today online, along with a unique new Canadian prison movie, both of which are solid additions to the lineup.  You Will Remember Me (Quebec, Director: Éric Tessier) […]

We have now doubled the usual time of Whistler Film Festival, but with a lot of us being at home with extra time on our hands, there is a lot of time to check out the festival at a much more relaxed pace. I have been emailing with WFF’s Director of Programming Paul Gratton throughout […]

“I’ll sleep when I’m dead.” — Kelly McCormack Kelly said this during one of her livestreams last week when being interviewed for SUGAR DADDY (which you should absolutely watch right now if you haven’t yet), and it’s starting how I feel of Day 9 of Whistler Film Festival. The energy is so good with all […]

After the wonderful SMALL TOWN WISCONSIN, one of the very best of the festival, you would think that Whistler Film Festival is starting to decelerate. But no, WFF is just getting warmed up! Two big additions to Day 8 include Julian Temple’s awesome new rock doc and a tight British drama, both of which were […]

For this film loving fan, Day 7 of this year’s Whistler Film Festival is the most important one to me. I have been waiting many months to write this article; so much so that another good movie that premieres today (THE CORRPUTION OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE) was pushed to yesterday as a “sneak preview” as I […]

It’s Day 6 of Whistler Film Festival and now the festival is officially running LONGER than its usual five days when it’s in Whistler Village. There’s a lot more breathing room and now that there aren’t any industry live-streams until Wednesday, it’s time to buckle down and watch more movies!  As it has been mentioned […]
