EIFF Altering (Hero Image)3

STORIES WE TELL

Join us at Landmark Cinemas 9 City Centre at 7pm on Wednesday, April 15 and celebrate Canadian filmmakers and storytellers with this screening of Sarah Polley's deeply engrossing documentary that explores memory, storytelling, and secrecy.

Tickets are FREE for this screening (limit of two), secure yours before they're all gone!Canadian actress and filmmaker Sarah Polley investigates certain secrets related to her mother, interviewing a group of family members and friends whose reliability varies depending of their implication in the events, which are remembered in different ways; so a trail of questions remains to be answered, because memory is always changing and the discovery of truth often depends on who is telling the tale.

The 40th Edmonton International Film Festival (EIFF)

The Edmonton International Film Festival Society’s (EIFFS) mission is to present a film festival in theatres to celebrate diverse cinema for audiences. To achieve this, we showcase high-quality cinema from around the world, allowing filmmakers to interact in a forum that creates and fosters community while placing EIFF on the global film festival map.

We present films produced within 20 months of each festival.  These films are curated from submissions and solicited from distributors.  The festival also presents a generous dose of filmmaker chats, Q&As, gala screenings, a local filmmaker spotlight, ‘buzzy’ films that are travelling the festival circuit, shorts with lunch, and more. Films are selected on the basis of story, quality and originality. All films must be Edmonton premieres.
