HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

We hope our members enjoyed the bash at the River Inn. Much thanks to Susan Shipton, who introduced her short film Hindsight, and stayed for an insightful Q & A after the screening. Thanks also to Blair and Martine from the Film Circuit, who came to the party, and have provided invaluable assistance with our film bookings all through the year, including our season finale Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire.

As we prepare another great season beginning in September, the QFA Executive will continue to meet through the summer to discuss the best alternative films on the horizon. New faces are always welcome! If you've enjoyed QFA screenings and want to get more involved, please send us an e-mail or call the QFA hotline at 391-4310. You might even meet someone famous!

WHAT'S PLAYING AROUND TOWN?

Reciprocal arrangements with Cinefest Picton and the Great Napanee Film Society mean that QFA members now enjoy an added perk with their annual memberships. The Picton and Napanee film groups will honour your QFA membership for the members' price at films, and Cinefest and Napanee members are invited to pay the members' price at QFA films.

Cinefest Picton
Cinefest movies are screened at the Regent Theatre on Main Street in Picton every second Monday evening at 8 pm. Coming soon ...
     July 9  The House of Mirth
