Reel Movie Mondays is our independent film series that screens as part of TIFF Film Circuit, screening on select Monday evenings (6:30 pm) at the Red Deer Polytechnic Arts Centre Main Stage. 🎞️

H is for Hawk – November 9 | 6:30pm

Philippa Lowthorpe
United Kingdom, Singapore, United States| 2025 | 119m | English | Clique Films | PG

Based on the critically acclaimed memoir, H Is for Hawk is a meditative and emotionally resonant film that traces one woman’s passage through grief and renewal. Following the sudden death of her father, respected academic Helen (Claire Foy, The Lady in the Van) withdraws from the familiar rhythms of life and turns instead to the ancient, exacting art of falconry. As she attempts to train a fierce and untamed goshawk, the film unfolds as a quiet dialogue between human vulnerability and the natural world’s indifference and beauty. Patient, immersive, and richly observed, H Is for Hawk reflects on loss, solitude, and the discipline required to live alongside pain without being consumed by it. The result is a contemplative cinematic experience that invites audiences into a space of reflection, stillness, and hard-won grace.

It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and the hawk costars are all actual hawks with no CGI used. 🎥

Register online on our website, over the phone, or in person at the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery. Tickets are also available at the door the day of the movie at the Red Deer Polytechnic Arts Centre Main Stage.

Cost: $15/non-member | $10/member | $5/student

I Swear – November 23 | 6:30pm

Kirk Jones
United Kingdom| 2025 | 120m | English | Blue Fox Entertainment | 14A

I Swear is a poised, textured portrait of a life lived against expectation. Anchored by Robert Aramayo’s (Lilies Not For Me, Nocturnal Animals) nuanced turn, the film tracks John Davidson, a Scottish man shaped by the onset of severe Tourette’s syndrome in adolescence and the world’s uneasy gaze. Moving beyond biopic mechanics, the story unfolds through moments of dislocation, misfired intentions, and unexpected solidarity as John navigates family estrangement, social misunderstanding, and his own burgeoning voice. Set between the Border towns of the 1980s and later Glasgow, the film examines the porous border between perception and meaning, between restraint and impulse. With restraint and wry humanity, I Swear observes how identity, dignity, and connection are claimed amid disorder. Inspired by a true story.

Content advisory: Coarse language, sexual language

I Swear won Best Leading Actor from the BAFTA Film Awards in 2026! 🎥

Register online on our website, over the phone, or in person at the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery. Tickets are also available at the door the day of the movie at the Red Deer Polytechnic Arts Centre Main Stage.

Art Speaks is a learning series developed and delivered in partnership with the Red Deer Arts Council.

Photographing Your 3D Artworks: Essential Skills for Professional Digital Photo-Documentation

This presentation is for artists who want to develop skill in documenting their 3D artworks. By focusing on the basic principles and methods, Paul Leathers will assist you in developing the ability to see beyond the artwork and into the image. He will discuss setting up a photoshoot for use with a smartphone or digital point-and-shoot camera as well as various accessories and software that can be used to vastly improve image quality. 📷

“Photo-documentation is the last step in finishing an artwork; a necessary one that, in our increasingly busy schedules, is all too often neglected. The point here is to keep the process simple and inexpensive, …so that it gets done!”

📌 IMPORTANT NOTE! This session of Art Speaks will be hosted in The White Gallery, located in the lower level of Sunworks Living at 110-4913 50 Ave. 🎨

The Third Thursday of each month.

You are all invited to the Red Deer River Naturalists November Monthly Meeting Speaker Series

Speaker: Milan Baral

Topic: Between Cliffs and Carcasses: The Ecology of Egyptian Vultures in Nepal

When: November 26, 2026 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Where: Held at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre, 6300 45 Ave, Red Deer, AB T4N 3M4, in the Theatre room.

Egyptian Vultures are among the world’s most remarkable yet threatened scavenging birds. Drawing on field research in Nepal, this presentation explores how Egyptian Vultures select roosting sites, use food resources and interact with a changing environment. Through field observations, photographs and research findings, the talk will highlight these birds’ fascinating behaviour, ecological importance and the conservation challenges they face in human-dominated landscapes.

Milan Baral is a wildlife biologist and researcher who recently completed his Master of Science in Biological Sciences at the University of Lethbridge. His research focuses on avian ecology, behaviour, conservation and population genetics. He is especially interested in understanding how birds respond to environmental change and human-modified landscapes.

We will also welcome Ed Karpuk who will unveil the new improved Nature Central website Story Map.

Reel Movie Mondays is our independent film series that screens as part of TIFF Film Circuit, screening on select Monday evenings (6:30 pm) at the Red Deer Polytechnic Arts Centre Main Stage. 🎞️

Mile End Kicks – January 11 | 6:30pm

Chandler Levack
Canada| 2025 | 111m | English | Elevation Pictures | 14A

Chandler Levack’s anticipated follow-up to her directorial debut, I Like Movies (TIFF ’22), stars Barbie Ferreira as Grace Pine, a driven though easily distracted 23-year-old music critic. She leaves her parents’ home for a shared apartment in Montréal to devote herself to a book about Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill for the 33 1/3 series. Instead, she’s swept into the local scene, juggling loft parties, creative ambitions, and a messy romance involving two members of the same band, Bone Patrol. As she takes on work as their publicist, distractions mount and responsibilities pile up.

Through wine-fueled poetry readings and other ill-advised choices, Grace is in the trenches of self-discovery. Mistakes are made and rent is owed, but along the way Mile End Kicks gives audiences a new romantic comedy to fall in love with.

Content advisory: Sexual assault, sexual content, crude content, nudity, coarse language, drug use and mature themes

Mile End Kicks was nominated for seven awards at the Canada Screen Awards in 2026! 🎥

Register online on our website, over the phone, or in person at the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery. Tickets are also available at the door the day of the movie at the Red Deer Polytechnic Arts Centre Main Stage.

Cost: $15/non-member | $10/member | $5/student

Join us for the 3rd Annual Pickleball Corporate Charity Challenge, presented by IG Private Wealth Management Giesbrecht & Associates. Taking place on Friday, January 22, 2026, at Westerner Park, this exciting event brings together local businesses and organizations for a day of connection, collaboration, and community impact. All proceeds support the Hockey Alberta Foundation and the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation.

No pickleball experience? No problem. The event is designed for players of all abilities, making it an ideal introduction to one of Canada's fastest-growing sports. The focus is on participation, teamwork, and fun, not athletic expertise, so don't let a lack of experience hold you back!

Sponsors and participants will enjoy a day of pickleball, lunch, player gifts, and valuable networking opportunities with business leaders from across Central Alberta.

The festivities kick off with the Pre-Event Party at Bo's Bar & Stage on Thursday, January 21, 2026, followed by tournament play at Westerner Park on January 22, 2026.
