The Livery Film Fest is made up of a group of film-loving volunteers supported by the Goderich Little Theatre, the non-profit community group which owns the historic Livery Theatre. They are also associated with the TIFF Film Circuit, dedicated to bringing national and international films to communities across Canada.
​
From September to April, one Thursday per month, the Livery Film Fest is fortunate to be able to rent one of two cinemas at the Park Theatre in downtown Goderich to premiere their film of the month.
​
How do they choose which film to show? Well, that is wonderfully complicated! Volunteers read many reviews, watch shorts, make recommendations to each other and ultimately decide on a film they feel tells a good story and offers value to the audience. It might be funny, thought-provoking, scary, exciting - or all of the above! Most of all, they hope you find it entertaining.​

HARD TRUTHS
​
Hard Truths is the next film presented by the Livery Film Fest. It plays for one-night only on Thursday, April 3rd at the Park Theatre in Goderich, ON.
Hard Truths is a British comedy-drama by the legendary filmmaker Mike Leigh, who has returned to the contemporary world with a fierce, compassionate, and often darkly humorous study of family and the thorny ties that bind us.
Reunited with Leigh for the first time since the multiple Oscar-nominated film, Secrets and Lies, the astonishing Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a woman wracked by fear, tormented by afflictions, and prone to raging tirades against her husband, son, and anyone who looks her way. Pansy has a snappy temper with a quick, critical wit that is both comical and brutal at the same time.
Meanwhile, her easygoing younger sister, Chantelle, played by Michele Austin, is a single mother with a life as different from Pansy's as their clashing temperaments. Chantelle’s life is brimming with communal warmth from her salon clients and daughters alike.
This expansive film, from a master dramatist, takes us into the intensities of kinship, duty, and the most enduring of human mysteries: that even through lifetimes of hurt and hardship, we still find ways to love those we call family.
The Park Theatre is located at 30 Courthouse Square in Goderich, ON. The box office opens at 6:30 for a 7:00pm showtime.
