Canadian Interlude: Maple Leaf Tales from Our Northern Neighbor

November 14 - December 12, 2023, 1:30 pm

John Steinbeck once said, “What good is the warmth of summer without the cold of winter to give it a sweetness?” In this series, we will visit five films from the land of the maple leaf that are as diverse as its population. If you just think of Canada as that cold place to our north, think again. We will witness drama inside a community of First Nation people, as well as a secret love in Montreal’s Mile End district, as well as Maudie (2017), the inspiring true story of an artist who pursued her talents against all odds – a film worthy of presentation at a museum of art!
