And they're off! On 15 September we kicked off the 2024 Digi60 Filmmakers’ Festival with nearly 70 people attending the event, filling the room to standing room only.
It was really nice to see women of all walks of life and experiences gather to meet, share, learn, and heal together.
On the evening of December 1, 2023, dozens of local film industry professionals gathered at Krusch Cocktail Bar in downtown Ottawa for the Media Launch event of the 2023 Digi60 Filmmakers’ Festival.
During the 80-minute conversation, Ashley Gorman, Stephen Gagné, Hassib Hani and Mikey Tachuk talked about their experience participating in the challenge and answered questions from Kevin and the registered filmmakers who attended the live event.
Over 50 people attended an event held on October 1 at DARC Microcinema in downtown Ottawa for the kickoff of the 2023 Digi60 Filmmakers’ Festival.
What an evening! On November 13, 2022, we invited the folks of Inside Out Ottawa to join us for a little soiree at the Digital Arts Resource Centre. More than 40 people joined in the festivities, with networking, snacks, and refreshments. We can’t wait to do it again!
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.
