The Bass River Heritage Museum is hosting the first ever National Canadian Film Day event in Bass River, Nova Scotia. Join us at the Victoria Hall (5622 Hwy #2, Bass River) on Wednesday, April 16th at 7:30 pm for a FREE showing of the 2016 award winning film: "Maudie"! Snacks and refreshments will be provided. "Maudie" is based on the true story of Nova Scotia painter Maud Lewis, who overcame the physical challenge of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis to become one of Canada's best known and most loved folk artists.
The fragile but determined Maudie (Sally Hawkins) yearns for independence from her over-protective family and dreams of creating art. When she answers an ad for a housekeeper placed by a reclusive fish seller (Ethan Hawke), she gains more than just the freedom she wanted, as the unlikely pair develops a relationship that is intensely intimate and just as challenging.
A touching and inspiring story about following one's dreams in spite of life's obstacles, "Maudie" is an absolute charmer. Rated PG.
Canadian Film Day is made possible by REEL CANADA. Wednesday, April 16 for the world’s biggest celebration of Canadian cinema!
