HIFF Dailies — Day Two
What an incredible Opening Night for HIFF 2024!
The weather was warmer than anticipated, but the temperature was just right for TAUTUKTAVUK and DOGLEG, our opening night double bill! Thank you to everyone who joined us to take in these works and make the Bus Stop feel like home.
We’ve got an exciting Day Two ahead of us, with a night of two all-local programs, plus Q+As with some of the most exciting established and emerging filmmakers in Atlantic Canada. After that, meet us across the street at the Tusket Falls Beer Project to celebrate them all.
Here’s what’s coming up today:
FESTIVAL PASS
HIFF TIPS
• Picking up your pass: HIFF passholders can pick up their passes at the box office in the lobby of the Bus Stop Theatre on your way into your first screening. They'll be available for pick-up for the duration of the fest.
• Arrive Early: HIFF 2024 includes some SOLD OUT to near-full screenings. Rush tickets for sold-out screenings will be available 10 minutes before showtime. Pass holders: to ensure you get a seat, please arrive at least 15 minutes before your film begins.
• Q+As and Panels: Our post-screening Q+As give us a chance to hear from filmmakers immediately after seeing their work—be sure to stick around after the screenings to on films with a Q+A marked below. This year, we’re also pleased to present a FREE Animation Panel with visiting filmmakers Lulu Keating and Joël Vaudreuil (When Adam Changes), moderated by Dalhousie professor and animation aficionado Shannon Brownlee.
• Parties: Don’t miss our celebration of this year’s cohort of Atlantic Auteurs at the HIFF party on Thursday, May 30, beginning after the screening (around 10:30 p.m.) at the Tusket Falls Beer Project. After our final day of screenings on June 1, we’ll rally for one last celebration at the AFCOOP 50th Anniversary party at Stillwell Freehouse on Agricola Street, beginning at 7 p.m.
