The Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre is going to be hosting a showing of films on the 10th Anniversary of National Canadian Film Day.
On April 19, the museum will be showing two movies at its theatre.
Starting at 10 a.m., the museum will be showing the film ‘Beans’ from 2020. It is a drama directed by Mohawk-Canadian filmmaker Tracey Deer, which explores the 1990 Oka Crisis through the eyes of a young Mohawk girl named Tekehentahkkwa, nicknamed Beans, whose life is transformed by these events.
Then at 1 p.m., the theatre will be playing ‘C.R.A.Z.Y.’ from 2005. It is a coming-of-age drama taking place in Quebec in the 1960s and 1970s, and tells the story of Zac, a young gay man navigating through homophobia while growing up. It is directed by Canadian filmmaker, editor and screenwriter from Montreal, the late Jean Marc Vallee.
National Canadian Film Day, launched in 2014, is a day which recognizes Canadian cinema.
