From now until May 15th, the DOXA Film Festival returns to our city (it never left! It's a Vancouver-based festival) and Vancouver Is Awesome Inc is very proud to be a community partner for three nights of films!
The first was The Hollow Tree, the story of our natural leaning tower in Stanley Park and the fight to save it. The second is a night of 4 short films:
Spotlight on Vancouver: A City's Image
Curated by Graham Peat
This collection of films reveals how differently we viewed our city as recently as 50 years ago. A picture postcard Vancouver beckons the viewer to explore its multitude of pleasures, contrasting with more intimate stories of the city as it grows and abandons the old.

The films are playing Thursday May 12 at 7:00 PM at the Rio!
