Movie Matinees At The Cannery - 'the Skiff Of Renald And Thomas' - 55+

Weekly schedule

About this program

Take in a movie monthly in the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site's theatre. The Skiff of Renald and Thomas is about five men working together in a communal effort to build a skiff on Ile-aux-Coudres, an island in the St. Lawrence River. It is built in a traditional fashion, all the more remarkable because no blueprint is used. The film does not merely record a building tradition, it reveals the character of the craftsmen, who are influenced by a pre-industrial way of life underscored by spontaneity and wit. Presented by the National Film Board of Canada. Attendees are recommended to wear warm clothes as the Boiler House Theatre can be cool. Drinks and snacks not included.
