NXNE 2014 diversifies with film line-up
The NXNE festival of Music, Film, Interactive, Comedy, and Art begins its 20th year tomorrow, which includes a diverse film line-up playing at the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema. For the first time NXNE will be screening non-music films at the festival, with this year’s film line-up being headlined by the Canadian premiere of Richard Linklater’s Boyhood. Throughout the course of the weekend, I will be posting reviews of many of the films screening as part of NXNE. Here is the full film schedule: Friday June 13
