In other film news, streaming service Netflix has launched a new website called Netflix in Your Neighbourhood where you can check out which of your favourite streaming films have been shot near you, such as ‘Luckiest Girl Alive,’ a movie with several of the key scenes filmed in Whitby.
DRIFF and Durham Region have also put out the invite to help celebrate Black History Month February 2 with the Together We Rise Durham: Excellence Through the Arts celebration at Oshawa’s McLaughlin Gallery, featuring Toronto International Film Festival CEO Cameron Bailey as the guest speaker.
