The World Community Film Festival took over the Sid Williams Theatre earlier this month, and now it continues, online.

Pop your popcorn and get cozy at home to watch some great documentaries at your leisure.

Anyone who missed the recent 33rd World Community Film Festival, or missed seeing some of the films, has another opportunity.

A selection of festival films will be available to watch online from Feb. 15-18. Full passes to watch all eight films, in any order, are only $32 (or $50 per household); individual films are $10 (or $16 per household). Low-income tickets are also available.

A program of Indigenous shorts includes the charming stop-motion film Tiny ,which opened the festival and Tsunami: 11th Relative. Both of those films illustrate the inspiring resilience of Indigenous communities on Vancouver Island.

Some of the audience favourites include feature films: Dancing in A-Yard, Manufacturing the Threat and Not Quite That.
