No screenings currently scheduled.
Following up his début, the acclaimed animated feature The Triplets Of Belleville, writer-helmer-animator-composer Sylvain Chomet doesn't disappoint with his delightful sophomore outing, The Illusionist. Based on an unproduced script by Jacques Tati, the film’s tale of a French conjuror (modeled on Tati) who befriends a naive lass in late-1950s Scotland is a very happy marriage of Tati’s and Chomet’s distinctive artistic sensibilities.

The ByTowne doesn't have a parking lot of its own, but denizens of downtown can usually find street parking close by fairly easily.
This web site is very useful, but the hard copy of the ByTowne guide still has its merits. People rely on it and love it. Plus, its calendar pages can be pulled out and posted on your fridge door, something that we still can't achieve with the web site. Get your copy today at many local stores, coffee shops and info centres around town!
