Join us December 16 2022,  in our twelve seat movie theatre, the Canadian Premiere of Wilfred, a ten minute short film Directed by Stratford native Samuel G. Davey and starring actors Marion Adler, Seana McKenna, and John Dolan. The film (based on the best-selling Australian children's book Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge and filmed here in Stratford Ontario,) is a heartwarming story that explores dementia, memories, and the relationship between children and the elderly. 

All screenings are free to attend and will occur every 30 minutes from 5 - 9pm. Drop-ins are welcome, but booking a ticket online is encouraged as our space is very small. Filmmaker Samuel G.
