As well a special evening honoring Dick Bird, a pioneering film maker from Saskatchewan, will be held. Bird, 87, is an honorary patron of the film festival. Mrs. Harris said the Filmmart, a market set up for Canadian short film makers will also be held in conjunction with this year's festival.

"It is often very hard for Canadian film makers to get their films distributed because of the expense and this is an excellent outlet for them," she said. This year's festival will have some minor changes. Beginning this year the festival will be an annual event rather than being held every second year as it has since 1947. The festival award the golden sheath, will have a new look having been redesigned by Jim Trinder and cast in bronze.

Mrs.

Sheila Harris, executive secretary, said the entries have come from every area of the country including the Dene Nation, an aboriginal tribe located north of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. The film is entered in the documentary class and depicts the lifestyle of the tribe with its unique language and culture and how it has changed because of government and outside intervention. Mrs. Harris said there have been entries from almost every province, and even from Canadian film makers who work in the U.S. Although the film deadline has passed (Sept.

1) Mrs. Harris said the festival office will accept most entries even if they are late. The films are supposed to arrive in the festival office no later than Oct. 1 where they will be pre-screened by Gary Deane, an audio-visual co-ordinator with the Regina Public Library, prior to the judging by the festival adjudicators. To date there have been 25 films delivered to the office.

The festival committee has again come up-with an outstanding panel of ajudicators. Film critic and associate editor of the Cinema Canada magazine, Natalie Edwards will judge the work with actress Kate Reid and Quebec film maker Richard Lavoie. In recognition of the International Year of the Child the festival has included a special award for the best film in the children's category, a $1,000 cash prize. Mrs. Harris said the category has already attracted 12 entries.

The festival will feature screenings of as many films as possible during the course of the week but in addition there will be a workshop conducted by Beverly Schaffer and a conference lead by Lothar Wolff. Ms. Schafer from Montreal won an Oscar for her documentary film I'll Find a Way which was entered in the 1978 Academy Awards, and she will discuss filmmaking for and about children during three, sessions. Wolff, an international film maker who produced The Joy of Bach, a 90-mi-nute special on the popularity of J. S.

Bach's music, will conduct a four-day conference on the total picture of making a film.

Starting out as a model at 16, Ms. Heaslip includes the titles of Miss Bikini 1979, finalist in the Miss Toronto pageant and runner-up in the 1977 Miss Teen Toronto contest in her resume.

She's anxious to make it as an actress and has learned there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done. "You've got to be a real go-getter to make it," she said. "I consider myself just average, but I'm never going to stop trying to get ahead. "I'm taking acting lessons, working with my yoice and learning to play the guitar so I can become more versatile. I fii)d that I can't learn enough.

"I've had to make a lot of sacrifices. I don't have much of a social life because I'm so tied up with getting my career off the ground. It's really exhausting." TORONTO (CP) Not everybody gets the chance to learn macrame from Henry Fonda, so when he offered Darlene Heaslip private lessons she jumped at the chance. "I was really star-struck at first," Ms. Heaslip, 19, said.

"But once I got to know him, the glamor wore off and I realized he was just like everyone else. "I picked up a lot of acting tips from Fonda. I guess that's when I decided I wanted to become an actress." At the time, two years ago, she was a stand-in on the set of the film Home to Stay, being shot in Toronto. Since then, she has had bit parts in the television series King of Kensington, appeared in five commercials and worked as a movie extra. "You can get a lot of good experience from just being on a movie set," she said.
