Nancy and Brent: Married people who still make time to high five.

Vancity Theatre's regular Cinema Salon Series - in which a local Vancouverite like Mayor Gregor or Bif Naked pick a flick they love and share it on the big screen - was hosted by the lovely and talented Nancy Robertson (Hiccups, Corner Gas). Though best known as a comedienne, Nancy chose the Gregory Peck classic from 1962, To Kill a Mockingbird.

Following the screening was a really nice discussion (and complimentary nibbles in the gorgeous lounge!) in which Nancy and audience members talked about the film - many of us hasn't seen it in years and practically no one had had the pleasure of experiencing the film in its original 35 mm format on the big screen. We were all struck by so many of the subtle details of the film which came alive in new, wonderful ways - a classic story that remains just as fresh and relevant 50 years on. Great choice, Nancy!
