The 6th Annual ReelWorld Film Festival described by Founder and Executive

to change Canadian cinema as we know it" wrapped on April 23, 2006. The

Kris Holden-Reid (BIG GIRL), Claude Gagnon (KAMATAKI), Georgia Lee (RED
DOORS), and Shirley Cheechoo (JOHNNY TOOTALL).

Power Brunch (sponsored by Inner City Films), along with the always
anticipated Industry Series (sponsored in part by the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation), Diversity at Our Doorstep (children and youth series) and
Brunch with Brilliance.

RWFF also awarded more than $40, 000 in prizes to emerging filmmakers of
colour at the Closing Night Award Ceremony and Gala screening (sponsored by
TD Bank Financial Group).
