Halifax International Airport Authority (HIAA) will once again partner with the Bluenose-Ability Film Festival (BAFF) to showcase three award winning films throughout the terminal.
The short films will play on four screens located in various spaces in the terminal building (departures, arrivals and near pre-board screening) for a three month period. Each film will play on a weekly rotation.
“We appreciate the opportunity to support the great work of reachAbility and BAFF once again this year,” says Joyce Carter, HIAA president and CEO. “We’re delighted to assist with increasing the exposure of these award winning films while providing our passengers, visitors and members of the airport community an opportunity to enjoy these films.”
The second annual three day film festival was held in Halifax in December, 2016. BAFF (presented by reachAbility) is Atlantic Canada’s first film festival with a focus on disability and mental health issues as well as promoting youth and first-time filmmaker participation. BAFF received submissions from more than 80 countries.
“Growth of our film festival would not be possible without the support of community partners like HIAA,” says Tova Sherman, reachAbility CEO. “On behalf of everyone at BAFF, I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to the Airport Authority for believing in us, supporting us, and helping BAFF grow.”
