The Saskatchewan Festival of Words has released the winter/spring 2024 lineup for its Cineview film series, which screens films from the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) which would otherwise likely never be seen in a smaller city like Moose Jaw.
The films are showcased in the Mae Wilson Theatre at the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre (MJCC), and are $10 individually, or $30 for a full season pass to watch all five movies. Cineview passes can be purchased at a Cineview screening, from the Festival of Words Office (2nd floor of the MJCC), or from Post Horizon Booksellers.
The upcoming season's Cineview films are:
