The Great Library Adventure: Film Fest and Campout
Arrive at 6:00pm for a Children's Film Festival in the North Peace Cultural Centre Carpet Room. The film festival will feature shorts from local filmmaker, Rio Fitch. Then, campout with your family inside the library! Parents and their children will spend a night in the library, surrounded by thousands of books. You can come for the film festival and not stay for the campout, if that suits you too.
The film festival will run from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. This part of the event is open to everyone! Through his production company "Turtlescape", Rolla resident Rio Fitch creates stunning short films and still photographs of the natural world surrounding him. Fitch's children's films have been screened at festivals around the world, from Chicago to Haida Gwaii. We will feature Fitch's films for the screening.
