We said it earlier in our video Post Festival Depression Hits Hard After The SJIWFF. We said “Rachel Peters ate fire.” What we didn’t say was that she was wearing a tutu. Well, here she is, our fave animator and comedian, Rachel Peters – eating fire – while wearing a tutu, at the St. John’s [...]

Watch out! Poet on the loose! Liz Zetlin, Owen Sound Poet Laureate for 2007, performs a “Random Act of Poetry” on fellow filmmakers at The St. John’s International Women’s Film Festival.

That’s Bruce Pirrie, Bob Bainborough, [...]

Remember SJIWFF* festival volunteer and Newfoundlander Cathy Parson’s who had never tasted cod tongues? Here’s a reminder – when she told her mom she’d got a scolding from Kay at Kay’s Chalet B&B, her mom said “well you just tell them you’re from town.” Well, we fixed that when a bunch of us went off [...]
