The Second Annual Storefront Cinema Nights Festival is "BLAZING A TRAIL" for October 16th & 17th, 2009.
Storefront Cinema Nights originated as an initiative to build something special. The goal was to create something new, exciting and unique for the area that would bring people together. We invite surrounding neighbourhoods, local businesses and entice all Edmontonians to come experience and appreciate who we are and what we have to offer. For the first time ever, in 2008, by bringing local artist’s films to storefront windows, we introduced a whole new concept for appreciating film in a totally unusual environment.
Last year proved to be such a success that once again we are doing it, but expanding the venue to include both Friday and Saturday with added hands on involvement for the movie goers. Friday Night is dedicated to the family, and the kids will have a chance at trying their hand at making their own Cameraless Film production, and see the product projected on the window. Butler Memorial Park will host a big screen cinema in addition to other fun things throughout the evening for the family enjoyment along with haystacks to sit on and fire pits to keep warm. Saturday night entails cutting-edge cinema produced by local artists, projected on storefront windows along Stony Plain Road between 151 and 154 Street with an added feature this year of contemporary dance and live hip hop music. For your comfort and safety the streets will be closed off to traffic and fire pits will be located in the center of the streets. Browse the many participating retail shops and enjoy a complementary warm beverage.
Special entertainment this year and first time in Edmonton, make and throw your own “Throwies” plus the “Glow Video Series!” Afterwards, mingle with friends at local eateries and/or listen to live music at local pubs. We hope you enjoy your experience as much as we have enjoyed creating it for you.
