is turning 10 this year and is ready to celebrate! This volunteer-run event has become synonymous with Family Day weekend in Camrose and now attracts festival-goers from across western Canada, guest filmmakers and musicians from nearby and around the world. Many Nordlys attendees are repeat visitors to Camrose and eagerly look forward to renewing acquaintances when they annually converge at the historic Bailey Theatre February 15 to 17. The roots of the festival can be traced back to the home of Verlyn and Mardell Olson near Armena where, for 10 years, it was known as the Pretty Hill Film Festival. To celebrate its milestone year, Nordlys (Norwegian for “northern lights”) will once again be showcasing an eclectic blend of award-winning films. Opening the festival is Maudie, a biographical drama about the life of Nova Scotia folk artist, Maud Lewis. The film’s producer, Mary Sexton, from St. John’s, NF, will be in attendance for the Friday screening. Q&A sessions with other special guest filmmakers will take place throughout the weekend. On Saturday night, the Blake Reid Band will be featured in the documentary No Roads In with a concert to follow. The theatre is licensed, allowing guests to sip wine and relax while enjoying far-flung destinations on screen through perfect sound in a warm and inviting setting.
