The movie shown on April 9th was Paterson which was about a bus driver who found meaning in his humdrum life through his poetry. Because poetry was featured in the movie, NFS decided to ask Cobourg’s Poet Laureate, Ted Amsden, to join us. He was introduced by James Pickersgill, member of the Cobourg Poetry Workshop who said that Cobourg was known across Canada as the home to a good number of poets and people who liked to hear poetry read.
At top-right is a photo of James and Ted.
Ted read out a poem by American poet Ron Padgett who wrote the poems featured in the movie.

When the film (Margureite) arrived at Rainbow, it was tested to make sure it was OK. Theatre manager Avril Lowes called NFS and asked if it would be OK - the film is in French but has no English sub-titles! This is of course, NOT OK so a frantic call was made to TIFF and to the Film Distributor for a film suitable for audiences in Cobourg. A replacement was not received in time so the screening had to be cancelled.
Patrons were advised in an email at around noon and offered refunds or passes to a future movie.
This would have been our 200th film shown and was the first one with a serious problem. Our thanks to Rainbow's staff for their assistance and for the weekend help from TIFF and the Distributor. Unfortunately they were not able to resolve the problem.
