Wales Watchers Season 2010 is cancelled !!

With a heavy heart we have to inform you that the Wales Watchers season 2010 had to be cancelled, because we didn't sell the 100 tickets required to keep WW going.We managed to sell only 67 passes.

History of the Wales Watchers

In the year 2000, the film series idea was first formulated with the commitment of High River Culture Centre. But then commitment expired in the year 2004. lack of community support being one of the main reasons.

In the year 2005, a group of concerned lovers of moving images of fine films reorganized the same concept with some changes. We the romantic few, hope to keep this tradition alive, and we're sure that there are more of us, if given the opportunity.

Screening the prominent Canadian, foreign and independent film for "one night showing" in a small town is not only a luxury but also a risky business. Therefore the support of the community is essential for the survival and success of this venture.

The price of a season pass is so nominal, that if you were to go to the city, you would spend that amount in on night. The pass can be used by anybody, if you're going to be away. So please, if you're proud of what your community has to offer, be part of that offering.

 

In 2000, when this concept was started, High River had the distinction of one of the very few small towns in whole Canada.
This idea that if you're no longer actively attending commercial movies, you might fall in love with these impressionistic and inspirational films. Our group known as "Wales Watchers Film Series". which is totally consisted of volunteers, will show these special movies the last Thursday of every month, from September to May (except December). We make the selection from the latest releases for each month.
Also the Canada Film Board is assisting us by providing an appropriate short film to compliment that month's main feature.

So therefore your interest and support is greatly appreciated. We like to hear from you, as your feedback is very important to us. You can reach us by calling Syed Kidwai @ 652-3155 or by e-mail kidwais@telus.net

Season passes can be bought at the Wales Theatre during business hours, or at the Little Bow Lanes Fun Centre at 416 Centre Street SE daily from 11 am to 10 pm
