Film fans, save the date for the next screening in the Last Mondays at the Movies series.
The Arts Council of New Westminster film series continues on Monday, May 27, with Wild Rose. The film chronicles the story of a young mother from Glasgow who longs to make it as a country singer in Nashville – but who has more than a few obstacles to overcome along the way, not the least of which are a year in prison and the need to care for her own two children.
It stars Jessie Buckley as Rose-Lynn and Julie Walters as Rose’s mother, Marion.
The movie series will wind up for the season on June 24 with You Are Here: A Come From Away Story. The feature documentary travels to Gander, Nfld., and tells the story of what happened after 9/11, when 38 airliners carrying 6,500 passengers were stranded in the small community.
Last Mondays movies start at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Movies are followed by Last Word, a post-film talk discussing a topic related to the night's movie. Tickets are $9 general admission, or $8 for seniors and students. They’re available online at www.ticketsnw.ca or at the door (cash only).
Season passes for the 2019/20 season of Last Mondays at the Movies will also be on sale at the final two screenings of the season. You can pay by cash or cheque, and passes cost $65 general or $60 for seniors and students.
