This week presents:
The Storm
Director: Monica Kidd
2021 | 4 min
Physician/filmmaker Monica Kidd reflects on what it means to bring a baby into a world under pandemic lockdown, evoking memories of wild summer storms to amplify a sharply etched tale of disruption and rebirth.
WINTOPIA
Director: Mira Burt-Wintonick
2019 | 88 min
A box of tapes uncovered. A lifelong Utopian obsession. A daughter’s attempt to complete her father’s final film. Wintopia traces the enigmatic footsteps of renowned documentary filmmaker Peter Wintonick through the lens of his daughter, Mira, as she tries to decipher the map he has left behind. Reverberating with emotion and whimsy, the film guides us on a journey through possible worlds in pursuit of reconciliation, both between artist and family and between dreams and reality. Even for audiences unfamiliar with Peter’s work, the film is a touching story of grief, love and hope.
Limited seats available. To purchase your ticket, please contact Visitor Services at 757-8090.
Restrictions due to COVID 19 will be in place for everyone’s safety. Masks and proof of vaccination with ID required.

Winter may be here, but there’s no need to stay home!
Join us at The Rooms to exercise and socialize during this colder and drearier time of year. While strolling throughout the building and enjoying both the exhibitions and the views, participants will focus on a different spotlight item from our collection each week. After our stroll, staff will lead a brief discussion on the weekly spotlight, and then everyone is encouraged to stay and socialize with friends new and old.
Following the Senior's Stroll, we will open our art gallery classroom for a guided art activity. All materials are provided, and everyone is welcome to attend.
No registration is needed. Included with the cost of admission ($7.80 plus HST for seniors), free for members.
