You might have heard about the festival premiere of “The Invisible Red Thread”,
in less than two weeks at the Montreal World Film Fest. You might also know
about the story behind the documentary: 15 year old Vivian Lum returning to her
birth land to discover the life she might have had if she’d not been
internationally adopted. Now here’s your chance to win one of four sets of free
tickets!
Just send a note under 100 words to info@picturethis.ca telling us about your
personal interest in the film. Whether you have a family connection to
adoption, an interest in China, or just love seeing documentaries, we’d love to
read about it. We’ll give tickets to the third, tenth and twentieth writers –
and will announce the winners by noon on Friday August 19th.

See you there!


The Invisible Red Thread is made possible with 100% funding from the OMNI Television Independent Producers Initiative. The $32.5 million fund is a seven-year commitment created and made available for the independent production of third-language ethnocultural programming. The fund is not only dedicated to helping Canadian independent producers tell their stories in their language of comfort, but also to make sure that these stories are accessible to other ethnocultural communities through re-versioning in different languages. This is the industry’s first, and only, major source of funding for the independent production of non-official language programming. More details on the fund are at OMNI Television’s website
