Huge Draw For CK Film Fest

Organizers say they received over 200 submissions for this years Christian Life International Film Festival in Thamesville.

The second annual event will open up Saturday at the Thamesville United Church. While they couldn't allow all submissions, festival director Florin Marksteiner says audiences can look forward to a sampling of everything.

"From western, to spiritual, comedy and animation. We tried to keep everything maximum 30 minutes," he says.

The films will get underway at 9am Saturday and run until 10pm. Screenings will continue Sunday afternoon starting at 1pm.
