St. James Anglican Church in Fenelon Falls is once again offering a film series during the five weeks leading up to easter. This year’s theme, “On the Way Home,” features five films that explore the themes of leaving home, returning home and making home together.

Each evening begins with a screening of a film and then a very short discussion with the audience of the film’s themes. The discussion will be facilitated by Brian Walsh and Sylvia Keesmaat, who have chosen a mix of old films and new, and a variety of genres. We kick the series off with the old favourite “The Wizard of Oz” on Wednesday March 13, followed by audience discussion. Subsequent weeks will feature: Brooklyn (Mar 20), Where do we go Now? (March 27), Pride (April 3), and Won’t you be my neighbor? (April 10). Join us for as many films as you like. There is no charge. Refreshments will be served. All films begin at 7pm.
