Last chance for budding filmmakers to make their mark in Forest

The Lambton Film and Food Festival is looking for entries into its Lambton Youth Short Film Festival.

Submissions can be sent online at www.forestfestivals.ca.
The shorts will be screened at LaFF, which begins May 26 in Forest at the Kineto Theatre.
