Where Mountains<br />

and Movies Meet<br />

Whistler Film Festival - Canada’s Coolest Film Festival’<br />

BY: LESLEY DIANA<br />

“This year was demonstrably our best event ever, with enthusiastic sold out screenings. Two thirds of<br />

our programming was Canadian, and 46% of the films were directed by women,” said Paul Gratton,<br />

WFF Director of Programming. “There was also more diversity in the selection, with stories told<br />

by people of color (IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK), Indigenous (FALLS AROUND HER,<br />

RED ROVER and TROUBLE IN THE GARDEN) and films dealing with the LGBTQ community<br />

(ROOBHA, LOVE SCOTT). In many ways, you could measure the increasing sophistication and<br />

openness of Whistler audiences to quality cinema from around the world.”<br />
