The Awards Ceremony for the Montreal World Film Festival / Festival des film du monde will be at 7 pm. Monday, Sept 4, 2017, at the Imperial Cinema, 1430 Bleury St. When the ceremony is over, around 7:30, there will be a free closing film.

Film fans can watch the closing film of the 2017 Montreal World Film Festival / Festival des film du monde free of charge tonight, Monday, Sept. 4, 2017.

The as-yet-unnamed film will be shown after the awards ceremony. That ceremony will begin at 7 pm, and last for about 30 minutes, or so I am told.

Surprises can be nice, but not naming the film in advance does not seem very wise to me. Who will venture downtown for a film if they know nothing about it?

It might make sense to show the winning film, but I have no idea if that is what will happen.
