Before coming to Québec I spent hours researching what there was to do/see/experience. When I discovered Le Festival de cinéma de la ville de Québec was accepting volunteers who didn't even speak French, we signed up.
"Don't miss the 12th Quebec City Film Festival (FCVQ). In all, 250 films in all formats, half of which proudly represent local cinema, will be broadcast between Le Diamant, the Palais Montcalm, the Drague, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the Cinéma Beaumont, Ninkasi and Place D’Youville (where we were). You are all invited to this cinematic event which promises to be memorable."All events at Place D’Youville are free. How magical is this location for watching a film?
Opportunities for fun photos abound.Sadly, the first two showings were rain delayed (indoor ticketed events still occurred). Our job went from ushers to standing on the street, answering questions about the upcoming events. While we didn't actually see the FCVQ in all its glory, we sensed how amazing it is going to be over the next few days. Tomorrow is our very last day. Our plan is to just wander. We have one last staircase to tackle, certain restaurants to bid adieu, and possibly a movie to attend as patrons verses volunteers."Those who can, do.
Those who can do more, volunteer."
