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.​
​

H is for HAWK
Thursday, June 18 @7pm
The Park Theatre Goderich
$12 General | $10 Members
Tickets available at the door
The Livery Film Fest is pleased to present, 'H is for Hawk', for one night only on Thursday, June 18th, at 7pm, at The Park Theatre in Goderich.
'H is for Hawk' is a biographical drama film directed by Philippa Lowthorpe, who co-wrote the screenplay with Emma Donoghue. The film is based on the 2014 memoir by British writer and naturalist, Helen MacDonald starring Claire Foy as Helen and Brendan Gleeson as Helen’s father.
The story unfolds after the sudden death of Helen’s father. Helen loses herself in the memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together. She turns to the ancient art of falconry, training a wild goshawk named Mabel, to navigate her profound loss. But as she teaches Mabel to hunt and fly free, Helen discovers how deeply she has neglected her own emotions and life.
What begins as an act of endurance and a way to cope with her grief, evolves into an intimate journey of resilience, connection and healing.
Claire Foy spent two intensive weeks learning how to properly handle birds of prey for her role as Helen. Because the production relied on real goshawks (five birds were used), Foy had to prove to the birds she was trustworthy before filming began. Rather than following the script, Foy improvised and focused on being entirely present and responding naturally to the unpredictable behaviour of the birds.
'H is for Hawk' received a 81% positive review rating on the popular ‘Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer’.

Join us on Thursday, June 18th at the Park Theatre. The box office opens at 6:30 for 7:00pm showtime. This may be our last film of the season so be sure to bring along your ’Skip the Line’ movie passes!
