When confronted with his mortality, Ben Tyler (Joshua Jackson) impulsively buys a vintage motorcycle and sets off on a road trip that starts in Toronto and ends up on Vancouver Island in the town of Tofino. Humorous, profound and extremely moving, One Week uses the great Canadian landscape as the backdrop to the story of a man and his life's journey. In the search for himself, he finds out what makes this country, and his life, so beautiful. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
 Wendy and Lucy
Thursday, August 6th
at 6:30 pm
80 min. Rated 14A.
Proving why she is one of the most highly-regarded auteurs of current cinema, Kelly Reichardt's subtle storytelling technique uses a formal minimalist style to weave together a unique emotional and political road film. WENDY AND LUCY , starring Michelle Williams as Wendy, addresses issues of sympathy and generosity at the edges of American life, revealing the limits and depths of people's duty to each other in tough times. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
Tickets foreach film are $1 and may be purchased at the Library up to a week in advance of the show times. Seating is limited, so purchase tickets early!
