The Canton Film Fest might not be
on the top of your must-do list this weekend — but we ask you to reconsider the
intimate festival, housed at the historic Canton Palace Theatre going on today
through Oct. 6.

Here are three reasons to take the trip down
77 South:
1. The — albeit limited — lineup
includes a showing of indie film A Fish
Story, followed by a Q-and-A with its star and North Canton native, Eddie
McClintock. Support a locally born star. Also on tap: Showings of Wagonmasters, Thirteen and O and The Sax
Man (To read our profile of its star, Maurice Reedus Jr. click here.) with accompanying Q-and-A’s.
2. If you’ve never been to the Canton Palace Theatre, now is
your chance. The landmark was erected in 1926 and still evokes that era’s
opulence and grandeur. What better place to view films than from the Palace’s
plush red seats, surrounded by its gilded and ornate walls and ceilings?
3. Tickets range in price from $5 for a film screening to
$35 to participate in a Saturday-only pre-film reception. Head to any other
local movie theater, and you’ll be faced with ticket prices that teeter toward
$11. Who could resist a steal — err, deal — as good as this?
