Note re Covid-19.
A Safety Plan is now available here. Note that if minor changes are necessary, the plan may be modified.
Note that the Program times are subject to change and are now different to the times originally posted. This is because of Covid-19 protocol requirements.
Tickets are now available - see the Ticket page. The best value by far is the Festival pass which gives you:
- The 12 program movies - a $120 value
- The very popular "Brown bag Lunch" - This year, Cobourg-born film & TV actor Camille Stopps discusses "The life of a 'working actor' in movies today". This is available only to pass holders.
Note that registration at the door is required. Singles will be available at the door (and online) at $10.00 for each movie.
Below is a list of the films to be shown. Click the Title of any film to go to a page with additional information. For each film, you will go to a page of information including photos, a review and if available, a trailer.
