Encore! Encore! at the CIFF
The ballots are in! The Calgary International Film Festival is pleased to announce audience-selected encore presentations of five films. Based on ballots and box office demand, these films will screen on Sunday, October 2, the final day of the festival.
“It’s always exciting to see which films start to develop buzz, audience anticipation, big turnout and high ratings,” said Brenda Lieberman, Programming Manager, Calgary International Film Festival. “We love programming these encores – it’s a way for the audience to directly connect with our programmers, and let us know what they want to see most.”
The five film encores include the first sellout of the festival, THE SALESMAN, and are listed below. Tickets go on sale today at 10:00 am.
GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS, 9:45 pm, Globe Cinema
ICE GUARDIANS, 6:30 pm, Globe Cinema
MANCHESTER BY THE SEA, 10:45 am, Eau Claire Cinema
THE SALESMAN, 2:00 pm, Eau Claire Cinema
ROAD TO LA PAZ, 4:45 pm, Eau Claire Cinema
We’re also pairing some of our Top Audience Rated Shorts with the above features. The shorts selected for encore screenings are:
CLUMSY LITTLE ACTS OF TENDERNESS – Screens before ROAD TO LA PAZ
CULPRIT – Screens before SALESMAN
GRANDMA LEARNS TO DRIVE – Screens before ICE GUARDIANS
IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD – Screens before GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS
In addition to the Audience Selected Encores, throughout the week the Calgary International Film Festival has been announcing the highest-rated narrative and features, which are all in consideration for the 2016 Audience Awards. These award winners will be announced at the festival wrap conference on Wednesday, October 5.
