For three days in October the air will be filled with compelling scenes and true stories when the Antigonish International Film Festival presents 47 outstanding documentaries from award-winning film directors. Topics include dreams, war, music, peacemakers, poetry and medicine, rivers, activism, grizzly bears, prisoners and prisons, Sable Island, forestry, soldiers- and many others. Over three days viewers will have a choice of films, all within a short walk. Attendance figures last year increased by seventy-five percent and another increase is predicted this year.
Local sponsors and advertisers have made all this possible. Because of them the low three- day pass price is $20 regular, $5 for students and unwaged. The special catered Mexican dinner Saturday night is only $15.
