Enjoy learning about innovative film techniques to fully appreciate your favourite flicks by director Martin Scorsese. Meet an enthusiastic movie buff who has loved cinema since his dad took him to see Gary Cooper in High Noon; and meet a dedicated artist and art historian who names Scorsese as one of his favourite filmmakers. Drop by for this popular interactive session, and bring along some friends to double your film fun! And don’t worry if you don’t know Scorsese – Tim and Olex will introduce you! Please bring some non-perishable food donations for The Deacon’s Cupboard, Whitby’s food bank.
