London, ON's Forest City Film Festival runs from October 23 to 27, and the list of films that will be screened have now been announced.

The feature documentaries in competition are Forest City: A Documentary, Illusions of Control, Weekender and Where in the Hell is the Lavender House?: The Longmont Potion Castle Story, as well as Prey.
