Slow Motion Closes to critical and public acclaim
The first SLOW MOTION Food Film Fest closed in Wolfville, NS this past Sunday, to unilateral accclaim. Hollywood celebrity Jason Priestley and his wife Naomi attended two of the events - the Gala Opening Party at Tempest and the sold out Kennys' Farm Market Barn Dinner. Hot docs 'End of the Line' and 'Food INC' attracted record crowds and the Danish film classic 'Babettes Feast' enjoyed a suberb full house. The Nova Scotia and California Wine tasting was full just prior to a popular screening of Recent Hollywood film BOTTLESHOCK. For the inaugural year of this important festival, we are delighted to count over 1000 attendendees to the various events this weekend. We hope to grow this into an important part of the global Slow Food Calendar. This will be a Bi-annual event, alternating with Terra Madre years
Volunteers for Slow Motion
Hello, fellow Convivium-members.
Slow Motion gets underway at the Al Whittle Theatre, Nov. 6, Friday afternoon at 1:00 pm with a great kids and youth program. And keeps on going until the end of The Tree of the Wooden Clogs at midnight Sunday, Nov. 8. In between, endless interesting experiences are on offer. We hope you will join us in Wolfville to enjoy and invest in the first ever Slow Motion.
We need ticket and merchandise sellers, ticket takers and pass checkers, waiters, greeters, a pourer, Amazing Race promoters, and back-ups (a great job for those of you who want to hang about) in various of the venues. Some theatre jobs are only 45 minutes! Other jobs will take more of your time. But all should be a good time. So please find a few you'd like to take on during the weekend and send me your top 4 pics + if you want to do more than one shift. One final note: as I visited all the venues with Michael Howell the other day, I realized how fun it will be to be on Main Street Wolfville on a fall weekend. Al Whittle Theatre, Harvest Gallery, Tempest, and Acadia Student Union Building are in walking distance of one another. Looking forward to hearing from you.
