Moonface - Julia With Blue Jeans On

November 15 2013 // Magazine // Music Reviews

The Montreal World Film Festival

November 1 2013 // Magazine // Features

When all of the big summer festivals are finishing their runs, there is still one more cultural festival in Montreal specifically for film lovers. The 37th edition of The Montreal World Film Festival, which ran from August 22nd to September 2nd, saw an influx of tourists enter the city just as many students and adults returned from their relaxing summer vacations. I had a privileged chance to sit down with Communication Director Henry Welsh to discuss the festival and the films that were presented.
