The North Bay Film Festival is marking a decade of shining the spotlight on cinematic storytelling and community creativity.

A dozen films will be featured over the three-day event this weekend (Nov. 14-16) at the Capitol Centre.

Officials say a program celebrating films made in the North Bay area takes place on opening day.  It’s called Framed by the North: A Century of Stories.

Five films are part of the curated program celebrating the region’s connection to cinema, from the 1940s to today.

A film industry event is also taking place Thursday, Nov. 13 at West Ferris Secondary School.

“Students will take part in hands-on learning, special talk and screening, and conversations with Northern Ontario film professionals,” states a release.
