About Portland at the Movies
Last summer we expanded our program of fun, outdoor activities
to include movie screenings. Since then, a continuously growing
group of film enthusiasts have gathered in Portland to watch a great
selection of movies.
This
new exciting initiative kicked off in July 2006 with the screening
of musician Jack Johnson's Thicker
than Water, a film about surfing with a great soundtrack. The
sound was amazing and the setting was perfect overlooking the Big
Rideau from the former Gallagher House property.
Throughout
the winter, even cold temperatures didn't keep people from coming
out to watch movies and drink hot chocolate. The movie selection
so far, mainly documentaries from the National Film Board, included
Being Caribou, National Geographic's Grizzlies and Bill Mason's
Song of the Paddle.
Organizers
have a great selection lined up for this summer. All movies begin
at 8:30 p.m. at 14 Water Street, the former Gallagher House property
in Portland , unless otherwise specified. Thanks to Bob Sneyd and
the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds, who donate the use of this
great location, which overlooks Big Rideau Lake.
Make sure to check our archives to see
which movies we've already featured and who sponsored them.
We
do not charge admission for any of the films we show but we do hope
you make a donation, which will go towards the purchase of new films
from the National Film Board.
If
you are interested in sponsoring a film or would like to suggest
a movie, please let us know.
