Thelma 

In recognition of International Day of Older Persons, the St. Francis Centre presents a free screening of Thelma, a film inspired by a real-life experience of director Josh Margolin’s own grandmother. Thelma puts a clever spin on the action movie genre, shining a spotlight on an elderly grandmother as an unlikely action hero. In the first leading film role of her 70-year career, June Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma, a 93-year-old who gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson and sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her. 

Concessions and cash bar available. 

This film presentation is FREE to attend, however, registration is required either online at www.ajax.ca/sfc, by email at stfranciscentre@ajax.ca or by calling 905-619-2529, ext. 2787 (ARTS).
