Haldimand County Public Library
Celebrate Canadian National Film Day (April 21st) by enjoying top-notch documentaries and movies by talented local filmmakers. Watch Local Week is a brand new initiative which gives our community the opportunity to stream content created in our own backyards.
Haldimand County Public Library has partnered with Windecker Road Films and the Norfolk County Public Library to offer you a week of free movie streaming, from April 18th to April 24th. Works by numerous area filmmakers, producing titles in various genres, are being offered, including “Making Things Count: Pandemic Postcards” and Try Thai Tonight cooking series.
To access the featured titles, simply fill out the online request form below, under “Getting a Library Membership” and select “Watch Local Week Movie access request” under “What Type of Question/Suggestion do you have?” or email library@haldimandcounty.on.ca with the subject tag “WLW access“. A list of links to featured videos along with passcodes where required will be emailed back to you. We hope you enjoy and are inspired by all the titles in our first digital film festival!
