Also, festival-goers are invited to the launch of the 2009 edition of the Wapikoni Mobile‘s best short films selection. The event takes place on Tuesday, October 13 at the UQAM Coeur des sciences Building (175 President Kennedy Ave.). Festivities start at 5:30 pm, followed by the screenings at 7:00.
The Wapikoni Mobile is comprised of 2 traveling film studios that visit Aboriginal communities in Quebec with the aim of breaking down prejudice, encouraging new talent and fostering contact between young people and the world around them.
