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.
COVID-19 Announcement

Northumberland Film Sundays is currently on pause waiting for circumstances favourable to resuming screenings. We are hopeful that will be the Spring of 2023. Thank you for your patience.

TIFF Film Circuit and Northumberland Film Sundays are currently on pause while Film Circuit is being re-established. As you know, we get all our movies through Film Circuit - which is operated by the Toronto International Film Festival - so they need to be operating before Film Sundays can operate. It seems that there needs to be a degree of stability on when cinemas can operate before anything will get going. It would also help if cinemas across the country could operate at full capacity.
Given all this, Film Circuit has told us that they are "aiming to relaunch in 2022 based on exhibitor/venue availability and restrictions". Thank you for your patience. If you are on the mailing list, we will let you know as soon as we know.

Bong Joon Ho brings his work home to Korea in this pitch-black modern fairytale. Meet the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family, rich in street smarts but not much else. Be it chance or fate, these two houses are brought together and the Kims sense a golden opportunity. Masterminded by college-aged Ki-woo, the Kim children expediently install themselves as tutor and art therapist, to the Parks. Soon, a symbiotic relationship forms between the two families. The Kims provide "indispensable" luxury services while the Parks obliviously bankroll their entire household. When a parasitic interloper threatens the Kims' newfound comfort, a savage, underhanded battle for dominance breaks out, threatening to destroy the fragile ecosystem between the Kims and the Parks.

As Europe erupts into World War II, 9 year old Martin comes to love his new brother Dovidl, a highly gifted violin prodigy of the same age and recent Polish-Jewish refugee to London. But hours before Dovidl's debut concert performance at the age of 21 he vanishes without a trace, causing shame and ruin for their family. A lifetime later, a young violinist shows a 56 year old Martin a stylistic flourish that could only have been taught by Dovidl. This triggers Martin's odyssey overseas in search of his lost brother, one that will lead to surprising revelations for both men and for Helen, the woman who stood between them.
