TheatreOne presents its 11th Annual Fringe Flicks Series at Avalon Cinemas.  A presentation of independent films chosen from film festivals such as Cannes,  Berlin, L.A., and Toronto with four screenings each.  Nanaimo audiences have the opportunity to see first-run foreign and domestic alternative films that might not otherwise receive a big-screen showing here.Introduced ten years ago with one Sunday evening screening of 8 films, TheatreOne’s FRINGE FLICKS has grown to three screenings on Sunday and one on Monday for each of 12 films. 

Why does a professional live theatre company such as TheatreOne host an independent film series?  As a not-for-profit charitable organization TheatreOne relies on funding from many sources including grants and fundraising in order to be able to provide professional live theatre to our Nanaimo and area audience.  FRINGE FLICKS is one of these initiatives.  Thank you to everyone who comes to the films.  You are assisting us in ensuring that professional, live theatre produced in Nanaimo by local & regional artists continues to thrive. Enjoy the films!
