Episode 347: In The Seats With....Bern Euler, Ashleigh Rains and the 'Canadian Film Festival' on the Super Channel

When life confronts you with change, don't fight it, embrace it.On this episode we are getting into the nuts and bolts of film festival life and how it is ever evolving as we look at the Canadian Film Festival which is playing on the Super Channel up here in Canada nightly until April 2nd.It is a fantastic platform for the wide array of truly diverse and unique Canadian cinema that is being produced in our country.While the festival used to exist primarily in theatres, in 2020 they obviously had to "pivot" (that word will come up a lot today) and go to the Super Channel.  While they do obviously hope to return to theatres one day, the benefits of being in a more virtual space are simply to hard to ignore.We had the unique pleasure of sitting down and talking with Bern Euler; the founder and executive director along with Festival Director Ashleigh Reins about the nature of evolving during these unique times, how Canadian cinema has evolved over the years, the necessity for growth and how the necessity of building a better mousetrap and not just going back to the way it was, just might be how the festival experience survives.To learn more about the Canadian Film Festival, you can visit their website right here.
