The Northern Images Festival is a compliment of local and national filmmakers presenting both screenings of works and panel discussions about the different aspects of film and media art. Loosely modeling after the “Images Festival” in Toronto, the Northern Images Festival is a place where anything relating to moving images can happen. This is the first year the festival has taken place and it gets started at the Downtown Gallery Hop this Friday night at 7pm with artist talks followed by screenings at 9pm at the White Water Gallery.
