Big Film Fest
Big Film Fest is hosted by the Minto Arts Council, in partnership with the Norgan Theatre and the Town of Minto. It takes place on the 3rd Monday of each month. Enjoy exclusive films on the big screen!
The films are presented by the Film Circuit division of the Toronto International Film Festival, which brings the best of Canadian and international films to communities across Canada that would not otherwise have the opportunity to see these features.
All films are shown at the Norgan Theatre. Located at 275 Main Street West in Palmerston, and they begin at 7:15 p.m.
Please note that Big Film Fest doesn’t show movies in July, August or December.
In partnership with:
The Norgan Theatre re-opened in November 2007, with an official ceremony and open house held on December 2, 2007. During its first season, Volunteers have assumed responsibility for the daily operation of the Norgan. Regularly scheduled films are currently shown on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. At each, teams of dedicated community volunteers sell tickets, staff the concession booth and clean and secure the theatre.
