Limestone City rolls out the red carpet for 2019 Kingston Canadian Film Festival

It’s one of the largest film festivals in Canada and it’s happening right here in the Limestone City.

The 19th annual Kingston Canadian Film Festival is underway, offering a jam-packed schedule for film appreciators. The four-day event features over 30 feature films and another 60 shorts. Clarke Mackey, a member of the festival board, says there’s a real appetite among a lot of the movie-going public for things that are different.

This festival, he says, seems to fit the bill.

This Mountain Life, The Hummingbird Project, Firecrackers and Anthropocene: The Human Epoch are just a few of the dozens of titles. Thom Ernst, the festival moderator and a film critic from Toronto, says the annual event works for a number of reasons — including the fact that the organizers just love what they do.
