Film Festival
Reel Alternatives
Huntsville annually holds a mini film festival.
Traditionally held at the end of March or early April, the film
festival runs over a weekend and encompasses a series of films
reflecting the variety of films that Reel screens throughout the year.
Due to the renovations to the theatre in the eary months of 2009, Reel
Alternatives have opted not to present a festival this year but instead
are putting their focus on supporting the Huntsville High School's Film
Festival to be held April 30 at the Algonquin Theatre.
Subtitled Messages in a Minute, this will feature a series of short
films created by students from schools across the Trillium Lakelands
Board dealing with various relevant topics. Screenings start at 7
pm and tickets are available from the Algonquin Theatre at 789-4975.

of complimentary tickets to the screening, and have the opportunity to
use the reverse of the tickets, or the evening itself, to build in a
