THE MONTREAL WORLD FILM FESTIVAL 2018 - CLOSING NIGHT

THE MONTREAL WORLD FILM FESTIVAL 2018 CLOSING NIGHT-
By Bernard Bujold -
The closing night of the 2018 World Film Festival proved that Serge Losique won his bet!
The FFM still exists and will continue to exist in 2019. 
Hundreds of moviegoers, actors, producers and other professionals attended the awards ceremony on Monday, September 3rd at the Imperial. One could even conclude that the crowd was larger than at the opening night. Serge Losique took the opportunity to announce that the 2019 FFM will be held from August 22 to September 2. 
During the speeches of the various personalities, many allusions were also made regarding the importance of the governmental subsidies in the holding of such events. We could notice in the room among the guests characters like Michel Nadeau formerly of the Caisse de dépôt and former chairman of the FFM board. If there is one prediction to be made, it is that the sponsors and the government subsidies will probably be back in 2019.
