Yes, this is correct. Stony
Plain Road will be shut down
to vehicle traffic on Saturday
November 29 between the
hours of 6:00 and 10:00 P.M.
Why on earth would this happen
and what can be done about it?
The “why” is Storefront Cinema
Night and what can be done
about it is to enjoy the evening
with neighbours and friends.
Storefront Cinema Night is the first
festival of its kind in Edmonton and
perhaps even the first in Canada.
Either way, you are in for a treat.
If you enjoy, film, video, or the
arts in general, you will definitely
enjoy this festival. The event
route along Stony Plain Road
from 151 street to 154 street will
be blocked to vehicle traffic and
will contain all sorts of festival fun
activities. The focus of which, is
locally produced film shorts from
Edmonton’s Film & Video Arts
Community. Over 50 short films
will be simultaneously projected
onto various storefront windows
of 10 participating businesses on
the festival route. The projections
have been selected and organized
under the professional eye of
Film Curator Patrick Arès-Pilon,
working in conjunction with the
Film and Video Arts Society of
Alberta (FAVA).
Whatever happened to the Drive-
In Theatre? You can reminisce
about those days gone by with your
family while you enjoy a series of
animated family films projected
onto a massive inflatable screen
in Butler Memorial Park (15715
Stony Plain Road) starting at 6
P.M. In keeping with the “green”
theme of the present day, Butler
Memorial Park will be the scene
of a “walk in” theatre as opposed
to the “drive in” theatre of the
50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Beginning at
7 P.M. horse drawn carriage rides
will travel back and forth between
the park location next to the ETS
bus terminal, and the main festival
location encompassing the entire
Storefront Cinema Night event.

coordinator of FAVA, when asked
