Program for the Twenty-Fifth Annual Vintage Film Festival

This year, given the big 150th anniversary celebrations in Cobourg and Canada wide, the Theme for the Festival is Canadians in the Movies.  All movies will feature a Canadian Director or lead Actor/Actress.

Ticket prices are the same as last year but agaiin there is a discount if you buy early.  Otherwise there is a small premium for buying after September 15th. The best value by far is the Festival pass which gives you: 

• The 12 regular program movies
• A bonus movie Friday afternoon (for Friday and Weekend pass holders only).
• The Gala Reception with light refreshments
• The very popular "Brown bag Lunch" - the topic this year will be Impact of Canadians on Hollywood and the speaker will be critic, author, lecturer and festival programmer, Geoff Pevere.

Note that registration at the door is required. You can also buy the Friday Gala only (includes 3 films and Reception) and/or a "Four-pack" of 4 movies at a discounted price. Singles will be available only at the door at $10.00 although singles for silent films with live piano accompaniment will be $12.  Note that this premium does not apply to holders of "Four-Packs".
