A Film House presentation

PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES

US, 1987. Directed by John Hughes. 93 min. R.

Starring: Steve Martin, John Candy, Laila Robins

Easily excitable Neal Page is somewhat of a control freak. Trying to get home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his wife and kids, his flight is rerouted to a distant city in Kansas because of a freak snowstorm, and his sanity begins to fray. Worse yet, he is forced to bunk up with talkative Del Griffith, whom he finds extremely annoying. Together they must overcome the insanity of holiday travel to reach their intended destination.

“The movies that last, the ones we return to, don't always have lofty themes or Byzantine complexities. Sometimes they last because they are arrows straight to the heart.” Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The Film House is proud to host 8 pay-what-you-can film screenings in downtown St. Catharines as part of Culture Days.

Organisateur

FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre

The FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre (PAC) is located in downtown St. Catharines, Ontario at the corner of St. Paul and Carlilse Streets on the shared traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the Neutral Peoples and many other Indigenous people from across Turtle Island.

The PAC aims to engage people in exceptional live arts experiences, and to enrich the lives of citizens of St. Catharines and the Niagara region, while providing a world class venue for local, national and international artists and community arts organizations to flourish.

Designed by Diamond Schmitt Architects, our 95,000 square foot cultural complex opened in November 2015 and spurred an artistic, cultural and economic renaissance in downtown St. Catharines. The PAC is comprised of four state-of-the-art performance venues (Partridge Hall, Robertson Theatre, Recital Hall, and The Film House) and one outdoor space (The Mann Raceway Plaza – our backyard) which host international, national and local artists alongside community members and organizations.

Since opening, thePAC has hosted over 5,000 events and welcomed over 800,000 visitors. We showcase and host music, dance, theatre, film, comedy, speakers, meetings and community gatherings ranging from 120-person capacity to 780.

Our annual presentation season consists of over 70 annual curated events of the highest quality and variety with a base of close to 600 dedicated annual members.
