Faculty at Surrey campus launches full-day film fest

SURREY - A full-day film festival is set to take place in March after a Kwantlen professor launched a film fest initiative called KDocs last year.

Janice Morris, an English instructor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University's Surrey campus, helped put together a film night hosted in conjunction with Vancouver International Film Festival at Vancity Theatre in October. The inaugural KDocs event saw a screening of The Price We Pay, as well as a QA with director Harold Crooks.Now KDocs has grown threefold, with three films, Honor Diaries, A Dangerous Game and Do The Math, set to screen on March 14 at Vancity Theatre."We're thrilled to host our first full-day documentary film festival," said Morris in a press release."KDocs is about uniting learners through critical thinking and dialogue on issues of social justice, global citizenship and creative solution-building. It's an exciting collaboration, and its growth shows KPU's continued commitment to progressive education and community building."The festival is $5 to $10 per film to attend. With a nominal membership fee, guests will have access to three films, all festival activities, plus meals and snacks.Registration opens soon.
