Itinerary:

There is a really interesting movie playing at the Metro Cinema as a part of Winter Light Celebration (www.WinterLight.ca) called, "Ice People".

Synopsis

"Unique in the genre of exploration and adventure films, Ice People takes you on one of the Earth's most seductive journeys to Antarctica. Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker Anne Aghion spent four months on the ice with modern-day polar explorers, to find out what drives dedicated researchers to leave the world behind in pursuit of science, and to capture the true experience of living and working in this extreme environment. And, as it turns out, the film also witnesses one of the most significant discoveries about climate change in recent Antarctic science. The most authentic film about life on the ice since the trailblazing expeditions to Antarctica chronicled nearly a century ago, Ice People conveys the vast beauty, the claustrophobia, the excitement and the stillness of an experience set to nature's rhythm."

Before the movie starts at 8:00PM we will meet at City Hall (1 Sir Winston Churchill Square) to take in a little wintery skating. At approximately 7:30PM we'll head over to Metro Cinema (Zeidler Hall at Citadel Theatre) to buy our tickets and find seats.

Skating is free but the Metro ticket will be about $10. We may get a discount for being a group, so please bring some change so we can work this out! (at least a $5 bill and some toonies and loonies)I would suggest finding parking in the library parkade or in the City Hall parkade which is very cheap after 6:00PM.

See you there!
