| The 15th season promises to be a great one, extending from January to November 2023. Presented by Chestnut Park Real Estate / Georgian Bay Group, BTC’s environmentally- and socially-conscious movies will screen indoors at 7pm: $12 / $7 / $0 for general, student and under 12 admission.
“You may think you know a lot about what we’re doing to the environment, wildlife and our world as a whole, both good and bad,” says Kathleen Knoll, BTC Committee Chairperson, “but these films go a step further. The movies we chose are truly fascinating. Enlightening.” The Venue is a walking-friendly location The Simcoe Street Theatre is right in the middle of Collingwood, across from the Collingwood Library and a block from the Train trail, which connects to the area’s extensive biking/walking trail network. Why not make it an adventure as well as a night out. Incredible family-friendly films This year’s film line-up is stellar, with something for everyone. BTC is a family-friendly event that kicks off this Wednesday with Scrap, a movie that screened at last summer’s Hot Docs Canadian International Film Festival. Scrap is very much in the spirit of ‘be the change’. As the film’s award-winning director Stacey Tenenbaum writes, “I think the first step is getting people to be like, ‘Hey, what happens to that phone booth that used to be on my corner, or where does cellphone go when I throw it out?’ The next step would be for them to decide they want to change the way they consume and dispose of the things in their lives.” Upcoming films this season include, Inhabited, Hidden Life of Trees, The Long Today, The Last Guide, In the Name of the Wild and other films.
