🎬 Silver Screamers: Special Screening + Q&A (FREE EVENT)
Join us on May 5 for a special screening of the documentary Silver Screamers.

Silver Screamers is a heartwarming and spine-tingling documentary that follows a group of spirited senior citizens as they embark on an extraordinary adventure far outside their comfort zones: creating a horror film. In a quaint retirement community, a diverse group of retirees ranging from former teachers to puppeteers find themselves yearning for excitement and creative expression in their golden years.

Led by a local filmmaker in their community, the seniors pool their talents and resources to produce The Rug, a short horror film that defies expectations and challenges stereotypes. As they dive into filmmaking, they encounter unexpected obstacles and hilariously unforgettable moments. From DIY special effects to on-set drama, the journey is filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a few surprises.

This screening also includes a presentation of The Rug, followed by a special Q&A with director Sean Cisterna.
📍 This event is completely free (registration required) (For more Info click here)

🎥 Bonus: Filmmaking Workshop with the Director (May 4 – FREE)
As part of this event series, there will also be a free, hands-on filmmaking workshop the day before the screening, led by director Sean Cisterna at Concordia University.
This is a great opportunity for participants to engage directly with the filmmaker and explore storytelling, creative production, and collaborative media-making.

⚠️ Very limited capacity (up to 15 spots remaining) — early registration is strongly encouraged.
