A NOTE ON THE PROMENADE CINEMA’S DOOR SAID THE LANDLORD TOOK POSSESSION OF THE BUILDING BECAUSE THE TENANT DIDN’T PAY RENT.

THURSDAY NIGHT’S OPENING WAS MOVED TO THE RE/MAX CITY CENTRE BUILDING, WHICH HOUSES THE FORMER RIVIERA THEATER BUILDING ON 4TH STREET:

UNFORTUNATELY THEY FOUND OUT LATER THURSDAY NIGHT THAT AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PROMENADE AND THE LANDLORD STILL WASN’T FINALIZED.

THE FILM FESTIVAL WILL NOW REMAIN AT THE RE-MAX CITY CENTER THROUGH SUNDAY AND WILL SHOWCASE A COMPETITION OF AROUND 60 INDEPENDENT SHORT FILMS IN VARIOUS CATEGORIES.
