The $100 Film Festival is an independentfilm festival that runs for three days every March at the Globe Cinema in downtown Calgary, Alberta. The festival showcases films in all genres by local and international independent artists who enjoy working with traditional film.
Created in 1992 by the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers (CSIF), the $100 Film Festival started as a challenge for area filmmakers to a make a low-budget movie using Super8 film for less than $100. In later years, the CSIF changed the rules to allow filmmakers to work with 16 mm film and an increased budget. The $100 Film Festival still works to embody the spirit of low-budget film making and has become a popular event in Calgary.
Brisbane has become the place for the tennis world to be in January. The Queensland Tennis Centre turned it on for the inaugural Brisbane International earlier this year and the event proved such a hit with players and fans that an even bigger tennis extravaganza is expected in 2010.
