On November 21, 2008 Rethink Breast Cancer rolled out the pink carpet in Canada for the Breast Fest Film Festival, the world's first film festival dedicated to breast cancer awareness. "So many people are touched by breast cancer, but each person's experience is very different, resulting in a wide range of needs that are not always met through traditional support and education options," said Alison Gordon, vice-president, Rethink. "The stars of the Breast Fest Film Festival are the women and men who have shared their stories, through which we hope to engage and connect people, and encourage them to think differently about breast cancer."
Short Film Competition
Both filmmakers and those touched by breast cancer - directly or indirectly - are invited to submit short films (maximum 10 minutes) that shed light on the issues surrounding breast cancer and breast health in unique and creative ways. Submissions to the 2009 Breast Fest Film Festival Short Film Competition will open in April 2009. If you wish to receive a notification about the Short Film Competition please complete the form below:
