Margoland Short Film Screening: Library Book Club

Margoland Short Film Screening: Library Book Club

For the final Library Book Club event of the semester, director Sarah Simone and producer Sarah Quan will screen their award-winning short film Margoland and hold a panel discussion, focusing on gender in film.

This short film features Margo -- an elderly woman who's trying to escape her old folks home in order to get her late wife's ashes to The Big Nickel in Sudbury, in time to celebrate their anniversary. This heartwarming deadpan comedic hit won Peoples Choice Award at RUFF (Ryerson University Film Festival) in 2017, Best Writing at WIFT (Women in Film and Television) in 2020, and was screened at the TIFF Bell Lightbox and Carleton Cinema in Toronto.
