Winnipeg kicks off 2023 Real to Reel Film Festival following a COVID-19 hiatus

Winnipeg will play host to an assortment of feature, short and documentary films in a celebration of the moving picture, as the city’s Real to Reel film festival is back in full force following a COVID-19 hiatus and organizers say it’s important to see the community gathering again.

“All the buzz and people working together, talking together, I love that feeling. Because film was meant to be seen in the community,” said Paul Boge, coordinator of Real to Reel Film Festival.
