National Canadian Film Day

This year, the Annapolis Valley Regional Library is participating in National Canadian Film Day on April 29^th.   What is that, you say? Well, the organizers at REEL CANADA say this:

“April 29 is National Canadian FilmDay, a day to throw off the shackles of fear and insecurity, stand together with Canadians from coast to coast and pat ourselves on the back for something other than various ice-related sports and sports-related doughnut shops. (Not that we don’t love ice-related sports and doughnuts). It’s a light-hearted intervention for our national consciousness, a wake-up call to anyone who has not yet been exposed to the great cinematic stories we tell one another in this cold, vast country.  It’s a way to get over ourselves and have some FUN!”

Thanks to REEL Canada, our library has public performance rights to show these three Canadian films on April 29^th.  Plan to join us at one of the following locations.

Rosa M. Harvey Middleton & Area Library – screening Dr. Cabbie at 6:30 pm
 

Windsor Regional Library – screening The Grand Seduction at 6:00 pm
 

Wolfville Memorial Library – screening The Disappeared  at 7:00 pm

               

Check at your local branch library or in the online catalogue for great Canadian film titles you can watch at home.
