Good news for members and friends of the Sunshine Coast Film Society. Thanks to a generous sponsorship by management of the Raven’s Cry Theatre in Sechelt, film screenings will from now on be held in this venue.
“I am thrilled that we are moving the films to a theatre venue,” said Karyn Burney, Sechelt coordinator for the Society.
“Deb Proby has been wonderful to work with and with the added exposure that Raven’s Cry can bring we hope to establish a thriving Saturday audience.”
Proby echoes the sentiment: “We’re delighted about working with the Film Society in bringing this exciting series to our theatre.”
Gibsons screenings will continue to be held at the Heritage Playhouse.
The first film of the new season is What We Did On Our Holiday, a cheeky British production about a comedy of errors when a divorcing couple take their kids from London to Scotland to celebrate the ailing family patriarch’s 75th birthday.
Three more screenings in Sechelt will be held this spring, on Feb. 13, March 19 and April 9. Show times in all cases will be 2 p.m. on Saturday.
Now in its 16th year, the film society is a non-profit organization with some 40 volunteer members, and strongly supported by Coast businesses. Basic membership in the society is $20. Ticket prices are $5 for film society members and $9 for non-members. A $99 membership gives access to all films plus two single event guest passes.
