You Hurt My Feelings - A Reel Alternatives Film Screening

Monday, December 4 to Tuesday, December 5
07:00 PM — 09:00 AM

A novelist's longstanding marriage is suddenly upended when she overhears her husband giving his honest reaction to her latest book. Starring the brilliant, and often very funny, Julia Louis-Dreyfus the films deals with the depths of relationships and how seemingly strong foundations can be partly or fully fractured for the simplest of reasons.  Writer-professor Beth (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and her husband Don (Tobias Menzies), a therapist, are as copacetic as can be even after decades of marriage -- still passionate, still sharing a single ice cream cone (to the disgust of their son), and still supporting each other professionally. Beth has a reasonably well-received memoir under her belt as well as a teaching gig at the New School, but is struggling to get her first novel published. Don, despite feeling his age and mixing up his patients’ issues in sessions, has supported and praised Beth’s latest work, draft after draft.​But one day, the unimaginable happens when Beth overhears a conversation in which he confides that he just doesn’t think her new project is very good. You Hurt My Feelings is a story about moderately happy people who are pretty good at holding everything together until they come face to face with the truth. Director, Nicole Holofcener nimbly explores the limits of honesty and whether the piety of positivity is really all it’s cracked up to be.

Project Porchlight

06:00 PM — 09:00 PM

Mark your calendars! The Huntsville/Lake of Bays Fire Department is ramping up for the 35th annual Project Porchlight Food Drive in support of the Salvation Army. Fire trucks, with the assistance of the OPP, EMS, Public Works, and Motorcyclists of Muskoka, will be coming house-to-house to collect non-perishable food donations across our community on Wednesday, December 6, starting at 6:00 pm. To participate in the Project Porchlight Food Drive, residents are asked to turn their porchlight on and place their non-perishable food donations at the end of their driveway or on their porch where they will be collected by first responders and volunteers. The Project Porchlight Food Drive has been an integral seasonal community tradition in support of the Salvation Army, which distributes the donated goods to the community throughout the year. “Many folks in Huntsville are feeling the impact of our current economy, and this is especially true during the holidays. This makes the 35th Annual Project Porchlight Food Drive more important than ever,” notes Paul Calleja, Deputy Fire Chief for Huntsville/Lake of Bays Fire Department. “Donating non-perishable food items is a great way to help your neighbour in the true spirit of our tight-knit community and the holidays.” If you won’t be at home or would rather drop food donations off in-person, there will be bins placed outside the below fire station locations during the day for drop-offs. Bags for packing your food donations will be handed out at various grocery stores throughout our communities.

Jules - A Reel Alternatives Film Screening

07:00 PM — 09:00 PM

  Jules follows Milton (Ben Kingsley) who lives a quiet life of routine in a small western Pennsylvania town but finds his day upended when a UFO and its extra-terrestrial passenger crash land in his backyard. Before long, Milton develops a close relationship with the extra-terrestrial he calls "Jules." Things become complicated when two neighbors (Harriet Sansom Harris and Jane Curtin) discover Jules and the government quickly closes in. What follows is a funny, wildly inventive ride as the three neighbors find meaning and connection later in life - thanks to this unlikely stranger. The film effectively blends quirky humor with an underlying message about appreciating our seniors into a silly yet warm-hearted package. A modern day E.T. with a feel good story, just right for the Christmas season.
