The Shortest Day

Posted on December 11, 2013

The Shortest Day is a one-day celebration of short films offering free screenings across the country. Started by the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image (CNC) in France in 2011, the event has now spread to some 20 other countries.
From Newfoundland and Labrador to Yukon, more than 60 participating venues—movie theatres, cultural centres, associations, festivals and libraries—will join the celebration and hold free screenings of one or several of the four thematic programs: Kids, Family, Comedy and Festival Films. A wonderful opportunity for audiences to discover talented Canadian filmmakers who have been honoured here and abroad on the festival circuit.

In Manitoba, the event will be held at the Millennium Library (251 Donald St.) in the Carol Shields Auditorium, with a family program of short films at 10:30 AM and a comedy program of short films at 3:00 PM. Admission is free.

The Shortest Day: an entertaining way of welcoming the winter solstice on December 21!
