Dinner and a Movie

Dinner and a Movie is a social way to share tasty food and watch great films.  On Sunday evenings you can eat a home cooked meal prepared by volunteer chefs, and then watch a movie that they've chosen to compliment the food (or maybe the other way around). 

Dinner is at 6pm, and the movie starts at 7.  The cost is $8/person, and reservations are required!  email semaphorecinema@gmail.com to reserve your spot.  (We only have room for 12 people at dinner, so make your reservation early!)

You can also email us if you'd like to cook/show a film on some future Sunday evening.

Here's what's coming up:

March 21st
Presenter(s): Will Vandermeulen
Film:  Werckmeister harmóniák (werckmeister harmonies)
Menu: stew and bread, vegan and wheat free

March 28th
Presenter(s): Nicole Maunsell & Keith Guinn  

Nicole and Keith present the classic Coen brothers film, Fargo, set in the city of the same name, that'll talking like a North Dakotan all week.

Using Nicole's family recipe (she's from Manitoba, just a little north of where the film takes place), they'll serve up a mid-west diner-style feast, with pancakes, fruit topping, whipped cream and genuine Aunt Jemima maple syrup (Vegan french toast can be substituted for pancakes).

Oh yah, eh?
