The ‘Elbows Linked Edition’ at ARTSPLACE

ARTSPLACE is pleased to join the national celebration of Canadian cinema with a special double bill screening in honour of National Canadian Film Day (CanFilmDay) Wednesday, April 15. Presented in partnership with REEL CANADA, this annual event is a coast-to-coast tribute to Canadian film and storytelling, inviting communities to come together to experience the richness and diversity of our national cinema. More than ever, Canadians need a moment to take a deep breath together. We need community.

The ARTSPLACE screening lineup for 2026 features two distinctive Canadian films.

Haida Modern (2 p.m., 1 h 25 min) is a visually stunning documentary tracing the career of Robert Davidson, a leading figure in the renaissance of Haida art, and the carver of the first Totem raised in his community in almost 90 years. Trailer

The Apprentice (4 p.m., 2 h 2 min): long before he set his sights on politics, Donald Trump (Stan) had a singular ambition: to expand his real estate empire and take over New York City. This drive, and his willingness to do anything to make it happen, makes him the perfect protégé for notorious attorney Roy Cohn. As their relationship develops through the ‘70s and ‘80s, Trump makes his fortune – but at what cost? Trailer

Screenings are upstairs at ARTSPLACE and open to the public. Admission is free (donations welcome), so join in and celebrate the stories that link us together.
