SOAR Film Festival is Eastern Canada’s largest wilderness film festival. A unique partnership between Laurentian University’s Outdoor Adventure Leadership Program (ADVL) and Sudbury Indie Cinema has allowed adventure film to SOAR. The festival boasts a curated programme of outdoor adventure and environmental/wilderness themed features, mid-length, and short films from local filmmakers and around the world. Special consideration in the selection of films is given to diverse voices, as well as those which feature outdoor activities and adventures enjoyed in Northeastern Ontario, namely: wilderness canoeing, back-country winter travel, Nordic skiing, kayaking, mountain biking, and climbing.
The Festival’s 5th edition runs Thursday Nov 13-Sunday Nov. 16th, extending the programming by opening Thursday night.
The festival will open with a conversation (and exciting video footage) with local legend Kielyn Marrone of Lure Of The North. Kielyn and her husband Dave are well known and respected for their extended guided winter excursions and offered lifestyle. However Kielyn really drew a lot of admiration for her finalist journey on reality TV series ALONE as she faced 100 days in the Arctic in winter solo with just 10 items to help her survive.
Based on land near Espanola, and as a grad of Laurentian’s ADV programme- we are thrilled to have Kielyn join us in person to share some stories both bold and vulnerable.
All screenings will take place at Sudbury Indie Cinema, 162 Mackenzie Street, Sudbury. Free parking.
We need a logo!! Our festival has rebranded from “Sudbury Outdoor Adventure Reels” to simply “SOAR film festival”. We are looking for a design that captures the outdoor and wilderness aspects of our event. The logo should look unique amongst the other Indie-associated logos, which can be found HERE.
We will choose one winning submission which will be the festival’s logo going forward into future years. All assets created by chosen submission will be property of Sudbury Indie Cinema until the design is no longer used. Attribution for the logo will be featured on the festival webpage. The winning artist will receive a prize of $300, a pass to the festival, and lifetime membership at Sudbury Indie Cinema. The winning entry will be selected ahead of and announced at the festival.
