What: Inspiring Independent Film Shorts!

The Independent Filmmakers Co-operative of Ottawa (IFCO) is spreading its wings. IFCO has supported seventeen years of excellent independent cinematic expression in the National Capital Region, and on Saturday, August 8th, Ottawans are invited to experience a new IFCO METAMORPHOSIS, as the Co-operative showcases new film works from its incredibly talented filmmakers, alongside film works from the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT), one of the most renowned Canadian artist run centres, for independent filmmakers wishing to create films on celluloid.

This year's Gala Première is sure to inspire as IFCO spreads its wings and escapes its cocoon, providing the local audience with a rare opportunity to experience some of Ontario's most hidden treasures; the next crop of amazing independent film artists, whose dedication and fascination with the medium of film is awe inspiring!
