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.

After a tragic riding accident, young cowboy Brady (Brady Jandreau), once a rising star of the rodeo circuit, is warned that his competition days are over. Back home, Brady finds himself wondering what he has to live for when he can no longer do what gives him a sense of purpose: to ride and compete. In an attempt to regain control of his fate, Brady undertakes a search for new identity and tries to redefine his idea of what it means to be a man in the heartland of America.

It’s the summer of 1983 in the north of Italy, and Elio Perlman, a precocious 17- year-old American-Italian, spends his days in his family’s 17th century villa transcribing and playing classical music, reading, and flirting with his friend Marzia. Elio enjoys a close relationship with his father an eminent professor specializing in Greco-Roman culture, and his mother Annella a translator, who favour him with the fruits of high culture in a setting that overflows with natural delights. While Elio’s sophistication and intellectual gifts suggest he is already a fully-fledged adult, there is much that yet remains innocent and unformed about him, particularly about matters of the heart. One day, Oliver, a charming American scholar working on his doctorate, arrives as the annual summer intern tasked with helping Elio’s father. Amid the sun-drenched splendor of the setting, Elio and Oliver discover the heady beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will alter their lives forever.
