Ahead of it's 25th anniversary, the Calgary International Film Festival says it will adapt and restructure after losing space due to the demolition of Eau Claire Market.
"Take the remarkable cultural spaces that already exist in Calgary and make it possible for them to show film," she said. "I'm so thrilled to finally be able to share publicly," Penhale said. "This approach is exciting to me because, at its core, it centres on community and collaboration." The closure of the Eau Claire Cineplex decreases the city's dwindling cinema capacity. According to CIFF, more than 85 per cent of cinema-ready screens in downtown Calgary have closed over the last 25 years.
