The Quinte Field Naturalists are pleased to present Steve Burr of the Royal Astronomical Society Belleville Chapter as he talks about "Reclaiming The Night Sky" 

 The sky is filled with wonder, an experience you should merely have to look up to enjoy. But the stars are becoming more difficult to observe and are even invisible in many urban centres.

The Quinte Field Naturalists invite you to examine the current situation, its effect on life forms not just our own and look at ways to mitigate or eliminate the growing threat to our access to the night sky.

Steve Burr, a member of the South Shore Joint Initiative and RASC Belleville is the champion for dark skies in Prince Edward County and for the establishment of a Dark Sky Preserve on the south shore of the county. The Quinte Field Naturalists have signed on as supporters of this endeavour and Steve will bring you up to date on his efforts. 

Steve is an amateur Astro photographer and will be sharing some of his amazing pictures of star clusters, galaxies and nebulas that await your discovery in the night sky.

And, if you haven’t already seen it, we will be showing Gary Magwood’s documentary “Hello Darkness”.

The second Movies at the MAC fall film...

THE LIFE OF CHUCK

Playing Friday, November 14th at 2pm and 7pm!

The Life of Chuck (2024) is a hauntingly beautiful and deeply human fantasy-drama directed and written by Mike Flanagan, based on the novella by Stephen King. Released in the United States in 2025, the film stars Tom Hiddleston as Charles "Chuck" Krantz, alongside a powerhouse ensemble including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Mark Hamill, Jacob Tremblay, and narrated by Nick Offerman.

Told in reverse chronology, the film unfolds over three interconnected acts that trace Chuck’s life backward - from his mysterious death amid a collapsing world, to a surreal dance on a rooftop, and finally to his poignant childhood shaped by love, curiosity, and imagination. Flanagan, best known for his horror work, pivots here toward a genre-defying tale that is more meditative and existential. With its blend of magical realism and heartfelt performances, this film lingers long after the credits roll.

Rated R for language. Learn more about this film's content rating here.

Regular tickets are $13.00 (HST included)
Youth tickets are $6.99 (HST included)

Or purchase tickets as part of a Fall Film Pass for $30 +HST!
