We're just over a month away from the 2023 Digi60 Filmmakers' Festival, which means filmmakers are currently shooting or editing their films for the 60-day challenge. As a way of giving them an extra dose of motivation in their journeys, we thought it would be a good idea to take a break, go back in time and watch some films that have already hit the Digi60 screens. In the list below, we've compiled award-winning films from the 2022 Digi60 Filmmakers' Festival. Grab your popcorn and enjoy!
President Kevin Burton moderated an insightful conversation with past Digi60 winners Arjan Atwal (2019 Winner, Best Director & Best Technical), Hingman Leung (2020 Winner, Best Film & Best Director), Angie Mills (2021 Winner, Best Director) and Patrick Mulligan (2021 Winner, Best Film) as they discuss their experiences, give advice to registered filmmakers and answer questions.
This “Ask Us Anything” style discussion saw over 30 attendees and hopefully motivated the filmmakers in attendance for the final 30 days of the challenge.
We were joined by a talented group of creatives this past October 5th at Atari Gardens in Byward Market.
We are excited to see BIPOC filmmakers building community and we hope to foster more events that celebrate diversity in Ottawa.
We kicked off our 18th year of the festival at the DARC Loop Space where over 60 filmmakers and enthusiasts attended the event. Attendees were treated to screenwriter pitches and some presentations by ACTRA, DARC, and new Ottawa Film Commissioner Sandrine Pechels de Saint Sardos.
The main attraction of the evening was the catch release for this year’s festival, “Escape”.
Filmmakers now embark on a 60-day adventure to produce a film, from beginning to end, ahead of the screenings during the festival running December 16-18, 2022.
