Thelma
In recognition of International Day of Older Persons, the St. Francis Centre presents a free screening of Thelma, a film inspired by a real-life experience of director Josh Margolin’s own grandmother. Thelma puts a clever spin on the action movie genre, shining a spotlight on an elderly grandmother as an unlikely action hero. In the first leading film role of her 70-year career, June Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma, a 93-year-old who gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson and sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her.

Concessions and cash bar available.
