Step, walk or strut your stuff on the pink carpet this weekend as Rethink Breast Cancer launches the world's first-ever Breast Fest Film Festival, dedicated to breast cancer awareness.

The festival will showcase films, which span the emotional highs and lows of the disease while using the medium of film to engage and educate audiences.

Some films will be followed by panel discussion or question and answer time with the film's director.

The festival opens on Friday, Nov. 21 with the Canadian premiere of Living Proof, the story of the most important breakthrough in breast cancer research.

The two-day festival will also feature the presentation of the Amazing Grace award, created in memory of Grace Cianciotta, a well-known member of the Canadian film community. The award will go to the winner of the best film at the festival.

All screenings will take place at the Royal Ontario Museum Theatre, 100 Queen's Park. Opening night tickets are $25 per person and tickets for all other screenings are $10 each.
