Reel Okanagan Celebrating Okanagan Film Every Wednesday This August

Back by popular demand, Reel Okanagan returns for its second year and is now open for submissions.

Presented by the Rotary Centre for the Arts, this August film series celebrates the stories, voices, and landscapes that define the Okanagan through locally made documentaries, indie features and shorts. Reel Okanagan will take place weekly throughout August 2026 in the Mary Irwin Theatre and will feature a selection of films that reflect the people, places, histories, and creative voices of the Okanagan.

Reel Okanagan is a curated series. Submissions will be reviewed by the Rotary Centre for the Arts programming team, with consideration given to artistic quality, regional relevance, audience appeal, and overall program balance.
