FILM 10 - Screening & Awards Gala
It’s been 10 years since the inception of the famous and groundbreaking 72hr Filmmaker Showdown and since the directors of the first winning film, The Last Cigarette, walked the stage in victory. And what a decade it’s been. Much has changed in Whistler, and in film, and this year we celebrate the incredible array of talent that has graced our silver screen since 2002.
The producers of the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival present Film 10, a night of stars and velvet ropes, hilarity and sarcasm, long shots and fade outs, all laced with that quintessentially Whistler attitude, guaranteed to be an unforgettable affair. Now a benchmark in localised filmmaking, and attracting international entrants, the 72hr Filmmaker Showdown is rolling back the reel, dusting off the projector and preparing for an Academy Award winning performance from our MC, our audience and our Filmmakers. Expect the unexpected and get ready for the show of a decade!
With over $4500.00 in cash and tons of prizes up for grabs we are celebrating the best of the last 10 years and awarding prizes from best performance, to best cinematography to best stunts! Awards, finalist montages, retrospectives and plenty of surprises will make this THE night for celebrating all things film!
After an entertaining and uproarious FILM 10 Screening and Awards Gala on Monday April 18th, 2011 the winners have been announced!
