Due to current global situations we are restructuring the festival to accommodate new regulations.
Pending regulations we will host indoor screenings at the Tivoli Theatre.
The single screen Art Deco style Tivoli Theatre first opened in November 1938.
This 250-seat theatre is modernized with a Christie-equipped digital projector.
One of British Columbia's largest agricultural regions, the Creston Valley enjoys proximity to the United States (10 minute drive to the border with Idaho), excellent accommodations, a vibrant downtown core and state-of-the-art recreational facilities -- all at play in the region's unique confluence of strong foodie and arts cultures, with its incredible restaurants, galleries and myriad points of interest along Kootenay Lake.
'7th Siding' was the original name for Creston, BC.
7th Siding Festival of Film is a non competitive festival dedicated to promoting awareness, appreciation and education of the cinematic arts to our local community.
Therefore there are no awards.
7th Siding Festival of Film is a volunteer run festival with a very low budget, so we cannot afford to pay screening fees at this time.
7th Siding Festival of Film is not for profit and is part of the Kootenay Film Society.
