2023 The Journalism Film Festival
If you appreciate journalism and like living in a democracy, The Journalism Film Festival is an opportunity for you to get together with like-minded people and celebrate the contribution that quality journalism makes in our lives....or it's just a chance to get out of the house and watch a movie on a big screen.
We've partnered with local news outlets and others to assemble a terrific program!
Four films focusing on journalism: Each one screens at 7 p.m. on the first Tuesday of March, April, May and June at the Apollo Cinema in downtown Kitchener, Ontario. (For tickets, click on the film titles.)
