POSTED January 22, 2010 BY Brock Mitchell

Quickdraw Animation Society in association with CSIF – Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers, EMMEDIA and Metro Cinema presents Prairie Tales 11 on Jan 30th and 31st .

Prairie Tales breaks in a second decade with a strong collection of new Albertan works on film and video extensively reflecting the diverse, expanding and increasingly intermingling field now generally referred to as the media arts.

Prairie Tales 11 Premieres on Sunday, January 31st – 7pm at the Plaza Theatre. Admission is only $10.
Many of the artists will be in attendance and will give a Q & A following the screening including:

Aaron Munson
