BROCKVILLE ON SCREEN – A MINI FILM FESTIVAL
AT THE BAC JANUARY 31 – FEBRUARY 1
The Brockville Museum and the Brockville Arts Centre are pleased to announce
“Brockville on Screen”, a mini film festival and fundraising event which will run on
January 31 and February 1 at the Brockville Arts Centre.
The theme of this festival is films that were shot in Brockville. This is a chance to see
people you may know as many Brockvillians participated as extras and to hear about
some background stories associated the making of the films.
The event will start Friday evening at 7 p.m. at the Brockville Arts Centre with a
showing of “River Rats”. Made in 1995 by writer/director this film is a thriller set in the
Thousand Islands about three teenaged boys, who can't handle the consequences of
their own greed when they stumble on a cache of diamonds. Shot in black and white,
some consider this film a low-budget masterpiece underscoring the darkness in all of
us.
On Saturday February 1 starting at 1 p.m., Little Gloria Happy at Last, will be shown in
its entirety. This 1982 TV mini-series features well know actors such as Angela
Lansbury, Maureen Stapleton, Christopher Plummer and Bette Davis, portions of which
were filmed at Fulford Place. This will be a chance to look for familiar faces such as
Dr. Tony Dunn and Roger Tripp and many Brockvillians worked as extras on the film.
The festival will wrap up that evening with “Brockville’s Reel Heritage”, which includes
both professional and amateur film footage from the Brockville Museum’s own film
archives that show the people, places, and events that have shaped Brockville from
the late 1920s through to the early 1980s.
Museum staff will introduce each of the presentations and offer some background
information. You are free to pick and choose which films you’d like to see. There are
no tickets for this event, but since it is a fundraiser all we ask is that you support the
museum by putting some money in one of the donation boxes provided.
This is a great chance to see the town we love as seen in the movies, so please come
to Brockville’s beautiful Arts Centre and watch one, if not all, of these amazing films.
