Apocalypse WWI will be screened at the Vancity Theatre (1181 Seymour Street) from June 13 to 15. The film co-presented by VIFF Vancity Theatre, the Consulate General of France of Vancouver, and Idéacom International, commemorates the centenary of the outbreak of World War I.

Apocalypse WWI is a French-Canadian documentary by Isabelle Clark and Daniel Costello. The film features archival material artfully colourized to bring audiences a view into World War I never experienced before.

Five 52-minute installments transport viewers to the trenches in northern France to the frontlines of Russia, Serbia, Turkey, Palestine, and the Arabian desert.

Tickets to screenings of Apocalypse WWI are available online in advance.
