About Us

Reel Alternatives shows movies once a month (third Monday) from September to March at the Grand Reo Theatre in Vanderhoof. Plus we host a multi-day Film Festival in March.

The Reel Alternatives club is comprised of movie loving individuals from the Vanderhoof area. We meet in the summer and fall to make our wish list of movies for the coming year. The movies we pick are typically non-mainstream, award-winning and often international movies. We try and get a mix of comedies and dramas with the occassional documentary.

Members who contribute to the cause are Brian, Shannon, Gail, Lorne and Margaret, and Laurie is our theatre liaison.

Proceeds from our season are donated to local charities. Many of the movies we show during the season are donated to the Vanderhoof Public Library. Check with the library for their full selection of free movies.

The Help We Get

Reel Alternatives wouldn't exist without the hard work of our dedicated members, the Grand Reo Theatre and the Wallace family for their support and generous donation of their time in helping with our season and for the use of their beautiful theatre, and last but not least our funding agents. This year we have received financial assistance from The Nechako-Kitimaat Development Fund.

As well, we work closely with Film Circuit to get these great movies to Vanderhoof.

“Film Circuit gratefully acknowledges and thanks the following sponsors for their commitment to celebrating excellence in film: Bell, Telefilm Canada, Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, Ontario Media Development Corporation, Ontario Arts Council, Cineplex Entertainment, and Mackenzie Investments.

Special thanks to: Aditya Jha – POA Educational Foundation, The Audio Visual Preservation Trust of Canada, The Department of Canadian Heritage, The McLean Foundation, and The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Foundation.”
