Get out your blankies, your lawn chairs, and some bug spray and grab a whole mess of snacks! August is almost here and with it comes the return of the Victoria Film Festival’s second most popular event, the Free-B Film Festival!
Enjoy classic movies from the past to share with your kids, grandparents, aunts and uncles, grandchildren and friends! Every evening at 9:00pm, Beacon Hill comes alive with the sounds of Hollywood as we screen favourites such as The Karate Kid, The NeverEnding Story, Flash Gordon, UHF and so much more!
“This is a great way to bring our community together and share in a fun, free, family-friendly event,” says Festival Director Kathy Kay. “Every year, when we announce our line-up, the feedback from fans of the event is overwhelming. Everyone looks forward to participating, volunteers and audiences alike.”
Now in its 12th year, the Free-B Film Festival has become a beloved event of many in Victoria and outlying areas. This year, Festival organizers want to reach out to Free-B fans and hear about their sentimental stories of attending the festival, whether it be the place for a first date, or the meeting of new friends, organizers want to know what makes the Free-B Film Festival special to the community.
Create new memories this year every Friday and Saturday from August 2nd to the 24th. The Festival also wants to encourage interaction with the event through picture sharing. Use the hashtag #FreeB with your photos and you could win tickets to the main Festival in February! With this being the 20th anniversary of the Victoria Film Festival, the events and screenings will be where you want to be!
