The Whistler Film Festival turns 15 this year. Executive director Shauna Hardy Mishaw talks about how far it’s come.“The first Whistler Film Festival opened with a screening of John Zaritsky’s NFB documentary Ski Bums, and 1,300 people showed up. It was crazy. We hadn’t intended to start a film festival, but after 3,600 people attended screenings over three days, we thought, ‘Wait a second—maybe we’re on to something.’ Whistler is different from many other festivals: once people come, they really are a captive audience. There’s no city to navigate. One thing we quickly realized was that we wanted to bring in the film-industry talent from Vancouver, so we began building those partnerships early on, and I would say the festival has grown organically… I think we’ve created a really important industry event on the Canadian movie landscape—one that is now part of Whistler’s wider growth as a cultural tourism destination. And after 15 years, I’d say it’s about time.”Whistler Film FestivalDec. 2 to 6, Various VenuesTickets: $13-$227, 1-877-838-3456Whistlerfilmfestival.com
