Here are some quick answers to life's pressing questions...
What is the Deep Cut Film Fest?
We're an international film festival based in North Bay, Ontario. Currently, we are entering our fifth year (2021). We always aim to bring the best short films to our audience, and this year is no different. We have an amazing batch of films from around the world, all of which are currently on the first run festival circuit. You won't be able to see these films anywhere else!

What kind of movies do you screen?
As mentioned, we bring you the best from around the world and from your own neighbourhood. This year's fest contains short films, and they are organized into feature length blocks.

Where is the festival?
We were planning to have the festival at the WKP Kennedy Gallery in downtown North Bay. Things are different this year due to Covid-19. Instead of a live event, we'll be screening the festival on YourTV, channel 700. We will also stream the festival on our site, and we'll have some awesome bonus content on their as well!

How much is it to attend?
When we have a live event, the price is "pay what you can" at the door.
This year, all shows will be free to watch online, or on YourTV. However, we will have a PayPal donation button on the site closer to the festival date so people can help support future festivals.

Can I bring food and / or a drink to the theatre?
We'll get back to you on that when we're back in a theatre.

What should I wear?
Some people have asked if this is a formal / gala style event. Nope, it's just a day of awesome film! So please come as you are, no need to dress to impress (although North Bay is rather stylin' to begin with...) So wear what feels right.

Should I bring all of my young children?
You probably shouldn't. About 80% of the films we're screening contain adult content. Best to leave the little ones at home, or in the park.
These films are not rated, however, if we were to provide a rating for the fest, we would list it as 14 Accompaniment, which the Ontario Ratings board defines as:
14 Accompaniment May contain violence, coarse language or sexually suggestive scenes, or any combination of them. Suitable for viewers 14 years of age or older. Viewers under 14 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

Is there parking at the Gallery where you're holding your fine festival?
Yep, you shouldn't have a problem, although this doesn't apply for 2021's event.
