Unfortunately due to the excessive heat we have made the difficult decision to cancel all three Canada Day long weekend shows. We will decide in the next week if we will reschedule these shows or issue refunds. Free popcorn nights, graciously donated by Waneta Mall, will now be at the July 22-24 films TBA soon.
Hailed as one of the greatest living explorers, and “Canada’s Indiana Jones,” Adam Shoalts embarks on an epic and death-defying four-month solo journey across the uncharted Canadian Arctic wilderness. From the Yukon to Nunavut, Shoalts relies on his well-honed survival skills in a race against the elements, navigating the treacherous and uncharted waterways before the deadly grip of winter renders the terrain impassable.
In 2016 Shoalts was named a national champion of the Trans-Canada Trail and in 2018 Explorer-in-Residence of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.
The documentary "Alone Across the Arctic" is the accompanying piece to the best-selling book "Beyond the Trees: A Journey Alone Across Canada's Arctic" by Adam Shoalts. Where the book represents the mental and spiritual journey in comparison the documentary details the physical journey.
Stunning visuals that barely capture the vastness of the North. A must-see for anyone who has ever considered a wilderness adventure in the Far North!

Upcoming films will include those event movies that you’ve missed seeing on a big screen, retro classics from comedy to horror, as well as those Sunday Cinema favourites been as well as Oscar winning independent films and documentaries. Plus, live performances of music, theatre, dance and more!
Confirmed films
Cancelled: July 2 and 3 – It’s a Canada Day weekend special so get in the spirit of all things True North!

July 9 – Parents and grandparents get nostalgic and bring the kids to one of your favourite films from your youth, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”! Sing along at the parade, make pretentious faces at art, and generally have fun. As Ferris says, “It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school.”
