NDG OFF THE WALL / HORS DES MURS is a free outdoor film and video screening which is a part of the upcoming three-day NDG Arts Weekend. This film screening will celebrate local film talent as well as local media creativity in NDG. The videos must showcase some aspect of life in NDG or simply be created with significant input from someone in NDG.

It will be held on Friday August 27th, 2010 at 8:00pm in NDG Park. The films will be projected onto a large screen in the southwest corner near Marcil and Sherbrooke St., with the audience assembled on the hill that runs towards the chalet. The images will also be bounced off the exterior wall of the Empress Building (Cinema V) as a show of support for the use of that building as a local arts and culture centre.

Submissions for the screening are still welcome and encouraged. Those wishing to participate should contact organizer John McKay at jmckay@videotron.ca as soon as possible.

The NDG ARTS WEEKEND also consists of an outdoor arts fair on Sherbrooke St. on Saturday August 28th and free live music in NDG Park on Sunday August 29th offered by Country en Ville. Organizers are hoping that this will become an annual event.
