It's a cape escape every weekend from June 26 to August 21. Instead of focusing on an actor or director, The Atlantic Film Festival's Outdoor Film Experience is going broad with a genre: superheroes. Costumes encouraged, but I doubt you needed any encouraging, really.
Now in Bedford and Dartmouth as well as on that big ol' screen at the south end of the Halifax Waterfront Tall Ships Quay, the films will be preceded by Atlantic Canadian produced short films in a joint presentation with CBC, called Summer Shorts. This year’s program will celebrate 20 years of the Atlantic Filmmakers Cooperative’s (AFCOOP) filmmaker development program, FILM5. (this is truly worth hauling a chair and a blanket and some snacks out early for, those films are rad).
All films are free, they begin at dusk and gates will open one hour prior to each screening. Please check for weather updates and cancellations by tuning into The Bounce 101.3 and at atlanticfilm.com. There are no rain dates.
