Fourth Annual Wilno Film & Video Festival
Welcome to the Fourth Annual Wilno Film and Video Festival. Each year we bring you a series of films from, of and about the Ottawa Valley, the village of Wilno, our pioneer and Polish heritage and the alternative community of artisans and creative spirits who now live and work in these beautiful hills.
WFVF 2007 runs from Wednesday Nov 28 through Sunday Dec 2.
Our screenings this year will be in our new lower level gallery which means less interruptions and better seating. The cafe will be open for drinks and meals and general socializing during the Festival. Admission to the festival is free.
