MWFF 2012: Opening Night

Montreal World Film Festival

The Montreal World festival has ended, and now only memories remain. Above is a photo of the entry to the Place-des-Arts just before the commencement of the festival's Opening Ceremonies. It seems it had been for the first time that an orchestra played during the Red Carpet walk.

Just above is the view of the Hyatt Regency hotel terrace where a cocktail party was held before the Closing Ceremony. The buffet of cold cuts and cheese was laid out inside the hotel, but one could step with a plate and a drink outside onto the terrace.

And this is a Red Carpet walk to the Closing Ceremony. I really could not tell whether there was anybody famous in that shot. To me it simply made a nice composition of people walking on the Red Carpet inside Place-des-Arts towards Maisonneuve Theatre, where the Closing ceremonies were to be held.


And the last but not the least are two photos of the founder and director of the Montreal World Film Festival Serge Losique. The picture on the left was taken at the cocktail party held before the Closing Ceremony. He was walking too fast... The one to the right shows Monsieur Losique on the stage at the Maisonneuve Theatre, Place-des-Arts.
