RPL Film Theatre is honoured to present this showcase of work by filmmaker and community producer Marjorie Beaucage (Métis). Curated by Lisa Myers originally for imagineNATIVE in 2018, these three programs celebrate the groundbreaking work of this significant media artist, activist, and leader. Her work reminds us of a vital part of our history and is a powerful statement that her voice and vision remain as strong and relevant today, as it will for the future.
The RPL Film Theatre screens the best of world cinema – up to 15 films a month. The Film Theatre has “something for everyone” and is the only cinema in the city to consistently present critically-acclaimed contemporary and alternative cinema: Canadian, foreign and independent films and documentaries.
For more than 50 years, Regina Public Library (RPL) has played a pivotal role in the cultural life of the city of Regina and surrounding areas. In the mid-60s, interest in a permanent venue for film enthusiasts grew into a program at the Library – a co-operative effort between the local Film Council and the National Film Board of Canada. A landmark year for the cultural, multi-cultural and surrounding business communities was 1975, the year the RPL Film Theatre was officially launched.
