An awards ceremony will take place that night and give honours to the works that have demonstrated the most creativity and technical skill, two integral components of the programs we offer at TFS. Tickets for the screenings and the awards ceremony are free and still available. We invite you to RSVP today, and invite any movie lover or cinephile you know. It is an event sure to delight, and make you proud of the high quality work our students create.
