4. The Canadian date: Inside Out Ottawa, Canada, Oct. 24-25

There was a good turn-out for the screening at the Atlantic Film Festival on 19 September, attesting to the interest in Bishop in Nova Scotia. Thanks to the AFF for programming this film. I understand that Barbara's film will be out on DVD in 2016. When we have information about that release, we will post it here.
