Northumberland Film Sundays
Mission Statement
We are a group of film lovers dedicated to offering our community a broad range of movies not otherwise available on our local big screens.
We select films from a menu of contemporary "hot picks" offered by "The Circuit", a division of the Toronto International Film Festival.
We are a not-for-profit group and periodically we will make contributions to Northumberland County charities when a cash surplus permits.
Films are shown at the Rainbow Cinemas at the Northumberland Mall in Cobourg, Ontario at 4.00 pm on selected Sundays. We also produce a Film Festival on a weekend in January - at the same venue. More on the Festival here.

Jimmie Fails dreams of reclaiming the Victorian home his grandfather built in the heart of San Francisco. Joined on his quest by his best friend Mont, Jimmie searches for belonging in a rapidly changing city that seems to have left them behind.
Each scene in this movie is thoroughly orchestrated, nothing is rushed in this film. Nuanced themes are pervasive throughout this visually beautiful movie. It is a masterful portrait of delusions, the transitory nature of ownership, gentrification, friendship, growth, masculinity, the growing pains of the life, the City as a whole and much more. A new classic.
Cast: Jimmie Fails, Jonathan Majors, Danny Glover, Mike Epps
