Since 1988 the Bookshelf Cinema has been providing the Guelph and area community with film programming that featured independent and local productions, foreign films and documentaries, as well as commercial and classic movie titles in rep.
Due to COVID-19, the entire Bookshelf (bookstore, cinema and eBar) closed on March 16,2020. In the time since, we have been offering online and telephone sales of books and wine. The cinema has offered a limited number of films to stream online courtesy of a couple of our longtime distribution partners. We are pleased to accept an additional partner, levelFILM, who has offered to share the revenues generated in streaming their films. Many of these titles were to appear in our upcoming program prior to the current COVID-19 restrictions and some films you may recognize from our previous programs.
We thank levelFILM for the opportunity to share these new and return engagement titles to stream at home until we might be able to enjoy films in the cinema again.
Based on a true story, a fast living, cynical London music executive reluctantly heads to Cornwall on a colleague’s stag weekend where he’s pranked by his boss into trying to sign a group of shanty-singing fishermen. He becomes the ultimate ‘fish out of water’ struggling to gain the respect or enthusiasm of the unlikely boy band who value friendship and community over fame and fortune.
