TIFF FILM CIRCUIT AT THE NORGAN THEATRE
big stories, small town screenings
Hosted by the Minto Arts Council in partnership with the Norgan Theatre and the TIFF Film Circuit, Big Film Fest offers a monthly opportunity to experience thought-provoking national and international films that you might not otherwise find outside major cities.
One Monday a Month at the Norgan Theatre
Big Film Fest brings acclaimed Canadian and international cinema to the big screen right here in Palmerston, Ontario
Rural audiences are often left out of the conversation when it comes to critically acclaimed films. Many titles never make it to small-town theatres, and streaming just isn’t the same.
Big Film Fest was created to change that – bringing great films and community together in one place.
Each month (except July, August, and December), Big Film Fest features a handpicked selection from the Toronto International Film Festival’s Film Circuit, a program designed to deliver high-quality cinema to underserved regions across Canada.

About the Norgan Theatre
The historic Norgan Theatre has been a beloved community landmark for decades. Reopened in 2007 with support from local volunteers, the Norgan Theatre is one of the only municipally-owned theatres and is now operated by a dedicated volunteer team who staff the box office, concession stand, and post-show cleanup.
The Norgan shows films every Friday–Sunday, with Big Film Fest occupying a special monthly Monday slot.
