Introducing our new jury! Amanda Lowe Warnakulasuriya will be part of the selection committee for Mirror Mountain Film Festival’s next live music + film performance. They will help us evaluate the performance proposals we receive from the Ottawa-Gatineau community, and select the filmmakers and bands that will be featured in our 2023 festival lineup. Amanda performed at Mirror Mountain in 2019 as a member of Novusolis, alongside local media artist VJ Cinetik. We’re very happy to be working with them again!
