KO Preview of CIFF 2016
Review by Katrina Olson-Mottahed x CalgaryMovies.com
The Calgary International Film Festival (CIFF) in upon us! This year, CIFF will screen 210 films: 100 features and 110 shorts. The hottest films to hit the festival circuit this year, such as the Alberta-shot BURN YOUR MAPS, Asghar Farhadi’s THE SALESMAN, Pedro Almodóvar’s JULIETA, the American indie and PUNCHING THE CLOWN and Jim Jarmusch’s PATERSON.
“The Calgary International Film Festival is getting better and better, and growing on so many different levels,” said Steve Schroeder, Executive Director, Calgary International Film Festival. “Last year, CIFF set an all-time box office and attendance record with 35,000 fans attending the 12-day festival. This year, we will continue to expand the excitement with a tremendous array of films, galas, filmmakers and special guests in attendance, along with our new Behind the Screen series.”
