“A rock-doc holy grail.” – Village Voice
Hop on board the grooviest train in music history and celebrate ’70s vibes AND Canadian cinema!
In 1970 a train journeyed across Canada carrying some of the greatest rock bands of all time. The Grateful Dead along with Janis Joplin, The Band and many others lived (and partied) for five days, giving concerts where and when they stopped. The train was called the Festival Express.
This rock-filled documentary combines live footage shot during the concerts, as well as footage aboard the train itself, interspersed with present-day interviews with tour participants sharing their often humorous recollections of those crazy days.
Preceded by a psychedelic rock pre-show!
This is a FREE screening as part of National Canadian Film Day, presented by REEL CANADA.
This is a FREE event but tickets must still be reserved here.

Is your theatre accessible?We have a ramp that we can deploy over the three steps leading from the front doors into the lobby. The theatre is accessible from there and we have several spots where we’re able to accommodate a wheelchair. Unfortunately, our washrooms are each down a set of two narrow steps so are inaccessible to wheelchairs.
