Film festivals are typically a chance to get up and personal with the who's who of the film world.
While we won't be seeing any Hollywood A-listers at this year's Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival, several people who are well known in the Canadian film industry will attend.
That includes Don McKellar, an experienced Canadian director, and Tina Keeper, who's best known for her role on the CBC television series “North of 60.”
They're here in their capacity with the film “Through Black Spruce.” Sudbury.com has done a phone interview with both of them, so watch for that piece next week.
