Celebrating Seniors – Reel Youth Films

 

In the 2015 Reel Youth Celebrating Seniors Film Program, several generations came together to produce short films. Spanning 12-82 years of age, the participants collaborated to create five films that celebrate the rich history of Cortes Island and its residents. The Cortes Museum and Archives Society is a proud sponsor of this program.

The most recent  Reel Youth  * premiere *, July 7, 2016, was of five local films made in this year’s Celebrating Seniors Film Program, starring Rose and Marge Hanson, Ross Milne, Ruby and John Gordon, and King Karl! These local films will be part of a screening of the Reel Youth Film Festival, a 75-minute program that includes some of the best youth filmmaking from around the world.

Please enjoy the movies Celebrating Seniors produced on Cortes Island by Cortes Island youth.
